Thanks Stephan, dropdb worked just fine. Also, I was not at all offended by your previous suggestion. I'm still pretty new to Linux. This issue surfaces an opportunity for me to help the cause. As I go through the process of setting up PostgreSQL 7.0 and developing a new database in it, I could provide some QA on the documentation. Two items have already surfaced. The first, of course, is that destroydb is now dropdb in 7.0. The second is in the INSTALL document. In the section that describes how to make PostgreSQL start at boot-time there is the following paragraph: In RedHat Linux add a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres.init which is based on the example in contrib/linux/. Then make a softlink to this file from /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S98postgres.init. There's a much simpler way to accomplish this. Simply execute the following: contrib/linux/postgres.init.sh install Who would I pass these suggestions on to? -=michael=- -----Original Message----- From: Stephan Richter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 24, 2000 9:53 PM To: Michael S.

It is called dropdb now, to be consistent with other commands.
