The textbook wanted me to create-db -U neil bpsimple, but I accidentally created it as postgres. I want to follow directions so future exercises will work ok.
It has taken me a while to figure out that there are , in bin, programs such as createdb.exe which look for parameters on command line such as
-U neil bpsimple
So, I had to figure out how to dropdb.exe -U postgres bpsimple
And then recreate it as createdb.exe -U neil bpsimple
It is confusing for me to keep straight which things are .exe in bin, and which are command lines in psql.
