Hi, I am new to PostgreSQL.  I have an empty PostgreSQL DB containing tables
but no data.  I issued the following command in PGADMIN SQL editor:

CREATE DATABASE "NewDefault"
   WITH OWNER = postgres
        ENCODING = 'UTF8'
        TEMPLATE = Default
        TABLESPACE = pg_default
        LC_COLLATE = 'English_United States.1252'
        LC_CTYPE = 'English_United States.1252'
        CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;

Although it created the NewDefault DB, it does not contain any of the tables
in Default.  Default was disconnected when I executed this command.

What am I doing something wrong?

So you have a database named Default?

Probably not a good name because:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/sql-createdatabase.html

template
The name of the template from which to create the new database, or DEFAULT to use the default template (template1).

So at a guess you are actually creating the new database from template1.


Thanks,
Murali
