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
thereare explicit BEGIN/COMMIT commands included in the string to divide it into multiple transactions. This
isdifferent 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?)
