DROP DATABASE testdb;
Database no longer appears in list of databases in cluster. So far, so good.
CREATE DATABASE testdb;
Database appears again. But so does the schema 'edinburgh', all its tables, views, data, etc.
From reading the documentation, I thought that "DROP DATABASE" also deleted all the underlying objects. In which case, this is a bug.
BTW, this is my first post of a postgresql bug. It would be useful if your page <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/bug-reporting.html> had a link to where the "TODO LIST" and "FAQ" files can be found - it's not obvious unless you already know!
Thanks Rachel
