I’m just getting started, so please give me a break. I just installed Postgresql on HPUX and I’m trying to connect to it via a Perl app using DBI::Pg 1.22. I’m getting the following message that I think I understand. Yet, I’ve got no idea how to correct it.

 

DBI connect(‘dbname=nlog:host=cheddar’,’postgres’,…) failed: FATAL: Database “nlog:host=cheddar” does not exist in the system catalog. At ./nlog_maint line 244

 

What is the “system catalog” and how do I register my database? I created the database using psql, so I know it’s there.

Thanks, Dave.
