Re: database "cdf_100_1313" does not exist - Mailing list pgsql-general

I think you need to add parens around the command to populate DBLIST and remove the quotes in the GRANT command. 

In bash this works for me:

DBLIST=$(/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/psql -p 5432 -U postgres -d postgres -q -t -c "SELECT datname from pg_database where datname in ('tempdb')")
/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/psql -p 5432 -U postgres -d $DBLIST -c "GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE $DBLIST TO dbuser1"

Likely a quoting issue.
