Hello,
 
we are trying to install PostgreSQL 8.1.4.
 
We noticed that when you run initdb, there will be a databes postgres.
 
We found this in the documentation:
Creating a database cluster consists of creating the directories in which the database data will live, generating the shared catalog tables (tables that belong to the whole cluster rather than to any particular database), and creating the template1 and postgres databases.
 
What`s the sense of this database postgres?
Can we drop it?
 
Regards
Michaela
