Did you put a semicolon at the end of the command? I get a ERROR: syntax error at or near "username" at character 26 LINE 1: create database contacts username=sszabo
Stephan, No, I did not put a semicolon there. I also received no error message, just the prompt. See the sample session I just posted in response to Michael's message.
