DROP DATABASE, but still there

What does it mean when you drop a database and then recreate with the
same name and all the objects are still there. I want to wipe out the db
and put back from pg_restore. After I re-create the db, all the old
tables are back before I run pg_restore.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddres sHere" to ma*******@postg resql.org)

Check the 'template1' database to see if the tables got put in there
by mistake at some point.

Yeah, I was just starting to realize that these objects that keep coming
back are in the template1 as well.....any reason why I shouldn't drop
the template1 and re-create like any other?

I think you need to use the -T option if you do this to have a copy made
of template0 instead of the default of template1.

You can do that but you'll have to do:

CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH template = 'template0'

You can do that but you'll have to do:
CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH template = 'template0'


Also there are several safety interlocks you'll have to defeat, IIRC.
It's not rocket science but I'd recommend consulting the writeup on
techdocs.postgr esql.org about the exact process for recreating
template1.

Is there any way to forcibly disconnect all users from a database, or else force the drop of the database even though others are still connected?

Hi, I've been working on a drag drop system and something happened when I tried to switch the code from a working model to one with another database. The drag drop still works, but the informatin in the database is still not updating. I kind of got aggravated and could not figure out the problem with my 4 months of PHP experience. If anyone would like to look over the code, then go tot his URL and get in touch with me if interested!

Hello All, I have been asked to build a simple database that will operate and track a liquid dispensing device. The machine is run in a multi-bus drop (coin operated basis) but I need to make it run on a barcode scanner basis. I have no idea if this is even possible (or if there are examples that have already been done) I have never set up a barcode scanner before and certainly never had to interface with a machine like this.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
