create database, simplest way possible using psql commands

问题

So I installed postgreSQL version 9.2.4 using the default installer settings on Windows 7 64 bit. Then I launched the SQL Shell(psql) command line tool and enter all the defaults plus the password I used during the install. It logs in. The problem is that a database cannot be created, or so it appears.

I typed in creatdb mydb

also tried CREATE DATABASE mydb

I assume something happens, but when I type \list I just see the default installed databases.

Am I missing something here? Coming from MySQL and this simple task is puzzling. No errors, nothing.

回答1:

Perhaps you should give the tutorial a try first: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/tutorial.html

Specifically, this part: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/tutorial-createdb.html

$ createdb mydb

Alternatively from the psql console:

CREATE DATABASE mydb; -- note the ; at the end
