I just made the mistake of trying to run pgbench without first running createdb and got this:
pgbench: error: connection to database "" failed: could not connect to socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432": FATAL: database "rhaas" does not exist This looks pretty bogus because (1) I was not attempting to connect to a database whose name is the empty string and (2) saying that it couldn't connect to the socket is wrong, else it would not also be showing a server message. I haven't investigated why this is happening; apologies if this is a known issue. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
