Doesn't this thread demonstrate the advantage of GUI's??? I created a database and table with pgAdmin III with no help at all.
I then got a flurry of well-intentioned tips about the command-line tool. I tried all of them. I tried them twice. I tried them upside down and backwards. People then began complaining that I can't follow directions. Like how many different ways are there to type in a command and hit enter??? I think it was obvious a couple dozen posts ago that there's something wrong with my PostgreSQL installation or with the command-line tool.
