Hi,

It should happen automatically at commit of the CREATE DATABASE ... and
you'd not be able to see the pg_database row before that anyway. So I'm
not clear on what you're worried about.
I've just found the stumbling block: the -c option of psql wraps all in
a transaction, as man psql says:
If the command string contains multiple SQL commands, they are
processed in a single transaction, unless there are explicit
BEGIN/COMMIT commands included in the string to divide it into
multiple transactions. This is different from the behavior when
the same string is fed to psql’s standard input.
Thank you for clarification, I wouldn't have expected that (especially
because CREATE DATABASE itself says, it cannot be run inside a
transaction block... A transaction block (with BEGIN and COMMIT) seems
to be more than just a transaction, right?)
Regards
Markus
