Currently using PostgreSql 8.1 on a Windows XP precompiled release.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to create a data base with the following command going into pqexec()
CREATE DATABASE \"World\" WITH OWNER = bclay"
" ENCODING = 'UNICODE' TABLESPACE = gisData"
I always get the following error message:
“source database “template1 is being accessed by other users”
There are no other users of this database since I am creating the GIS database from scratch.
Based on comments I found on the net when others encountered the same error message, I closed pgAdmin III to make sure it is not causing the problem.
The next step in debugging I restarted pgAdmin III and tried the same command there and got the same message.
pgAdmin III shows “template1” to be the initial database.
It turns out that the only way I can create a database is to specify template0 in the Create Database call or use pgAdmin to create one that can use template1.

Issue 2
Also, when I tried to add a comment while creaating the database using the following string:
" COMMENT ON DATABASE \"World\" IS 'World GIS Database'"
the create works but I the comment does not show up.
Is there a way to add a comment programmatically?

Issue 3
How to get database description?
1. I added a description filed using pgAdmin. I can see the description I added in pgAdmin when I click on the database name so I know it is there.
2. If I issue the command < select * from pg_database > in pgAdmin query I see all of the current databases but no description strings.
3. If I issue the command < select * from pg_description > in pgAdmin query I see all of the descriptions that I added from pgAdmin but the objoid is not the same as the oid that shows when I issued the < select * from pg_database > command. So I can not select the correct description.
Is there a way to go from any pg_database ID to a corresponding pg_description ID to retrieve the correct description?
