The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2333 Logged by: kevin barnes Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.1 Operating system: ubuntu 5.10 Description: dropdb ignores the database name argument Details:
In the 8.1 release on Unbuntu 5.10 there is an error with the dropdb command in /usr/bin. The error manifests itself by not respecting the DBNAME argument. It assumes that you want to connect to a database named 'postgres' and ignores whatever argument you give it. The error returned is: dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: database "postgres" does not exist The error is actually correct, because I do not have a database named postgres, but the command does not work correctly. I downgraded through apt-get to 8.0 and dropdb works as expected. I believe the version I was running was 8.1.3. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
