Dear all, I am using postgres version: 7.1.3 in Red hat linux : 7.2.
I am having a script (uses psql) which drops and creates a database by logging
into 'template1'. This will be invoked from crontab. Sometimes (nearly 50% of the times) the database creation fails by saying "ERROR: CREATE DATABASE: source database "template1" is being accessed by other users" But I am sure that none of my scripts access 'template1' at that time. I have also checked the 'ps -afx' output (logged at the time of failing), but no suspects found. Kindly give me a solution to overcome this problem. Also kindly tell me a way to find, which process is accessing the template1. Thanks in advance. regards KArthik.S ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
