Dear Sir,

initdb: The directory /usr/local/pgsql/data exists but is not empty.

If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty the
directory /usr/local/pgsql/data or run initdb with an argument other than
/usr/local/pgsql/data.

This is the response that I see when I typed in initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data to initialize the database. I can?t figure out what
is wrong?

Can u please help me....

thanks in advance

regards,
