postgres: create table in database from the command line
create-table, postgresql
Solution
After the create database command issue a connect:
create database sinfonifry owner sinfonifry;
\connect sinfonifry
Problem
I am trying to create a table in postgres, but it ends up in the wrong database. Here is what I do: in my sql script initially I create a user and a database, and then a table. Code will explain more: ``` drop database if exists sinfonifry; drop role if exists sinfonifry; -- create the requested sinfonifry user create user sinfonifry createdb createuser password 'some_password'; -- create a sinfonifry database create database sinfonifry owner sinfonifry; DROP TABLE if exists sinf01_host; CREATE TABLE sinf01_host ( host_id bigserial NOT NULL, -- The primary key host_ip inet NOT NULL, -- The IP of the host host_name character varying(255) NOT NULL, -- The name of the host CONSTRAINT "PK_host" PRIMARY KEY (host_id ) ) WITH ( OIDS=FALSE ); ALTER TABLE sinf01_host OWNER TO sinfonifry; ``` now, this is part an automated script, and is executed from the command line, like: ``` sudo -u postgres psql < create_db.sql ``` and I already have the postgres user created on the system. And here comes the problem: the table ends up in the postgres database, public schema, not in the sinfonifry database, public schema. How can I create the table in the database I want to? Thanks, and cheers, f.
