hello,
i have a nice command to create a db 'createdb', but hows when you want
to get rid of a DB?? searched for a removedb script....
Took me some time to read through the
man page, find out how the command actually works, look up the SQL
commands and find out that there's also a DROP DATABASE SQL-command...
And then looking up that there'S really a dropdb command....
would be really nice if in the man page there was a short ref, telling
me about related commands.....
Then the question arouse, if i can create and destroy databases from
SQL, building my install script, it would be nice to test for the
presence of a DB and in case of inexistence, create it on the fly.
For this it would be nice if i could have found for each possible command
in psql the SQL counterpart, notably, how to list all available DB's
through SQL.
BTW shouldn't \l display also the internal DB's ? If it would i could
have searched for the right table....
