Why not do it all in check-local?
check-local:
echo "create database foo;" |psql postgres $(dbsuperuser)
psql $(dbname) $(dbuser) -f $(top_srcdir)/whatever/dump.sql
echo "drop database foo;" |psql postgres $(dbsuperuser)
Or do you have a TESTS=... testsuite, rather than the second command
being your testsuite?
