can you specify the exact commands and the sequence. With this set up it should work.
how do you import the data.

Dear All,
I've been using a single database for many years.
I'd now like to create a new separate database with most of the same tables, so that I don't have to re-write my code, I'd like to just use a different Tomcat datasource to access it.
I had imagined this would be as simple as :
1) using createdb, to create a database with a different name, maybe with a different postgres user assigned to it,
2) using a pg_dump from the original database to import the table creation.
However it doesn't appear to be that simple.
Let's say the old database is called database1, and I've created a new database2.
When I import the pg_dump into database2, it tells me that the tables already exist (obviously it's talking about the tables in database1).
But I surely I've created a new database called database2? Why is it stopping me from creating the same tables in the new database?
Same sort of problem with psql:
If I run 'psql database2' then I see everything from database1 as well.
What am I missing here?
Thanks for your time.
