Please help - in order to solve the problem of a VERY large pg_log file,
I used "destroydb" to destroy the database, nulled the pg_log file and
then tried to "createdb" the database in order to restore the data. I
get a "database already exists" error even though it does not appear in
the /base directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
