This statement is not entirely accurate. Although I agree it is a good
idea to have a separate named database for each "application"pg_dumpall
does not add a "CREATE DATABASE postgres;" to the dump file because
pg_restore expects that the postgres database already exists. However,
all objects in the postgres database are dumped and will be restored.
This can be verified because you can do a "grep 'connect postgres'
<your_pg_dump_file" and it will be found, as are any object in the
postgres database..
You are correct. I did not dig deep enough into the dump file.
