I *guess* (since you say "querry") that you are already on the "psql" prompt when you enter "createdb db_name", which won't work, since that is a shell command. The $ at the beginning of the line should give you that clue. That would also explain why "create database db_name;" works for you, because that is an SQL statement. Yours, Laurenz Albe
