Thanks Adrian, I did read the link you suggested.
I was had at the Introduction title, since it makes this mention "Alternatively, input can be from a file or from command line arguments." since the input would be from the back end of the database, as I am using Java DBC to access the database.

However, I have not been able to discern the correlation that exist between the JDBC statement and the definition of gexec [Sends the current query buffer to the server, then treats each column of each row of the query's output (if any) as an SQL statement to be executed.]

I guess it is that I am so new to the world of PG-15 that I just cannot understand or get your point. My reality is that esoteric definition go right over my head, since I am a newbie.

Would you be able to make the appropriate corrections to the PostgreSQL-15 schema passed to the JDBC Statement.executeUpdate() method?

Thanks in advance.

PD:

Are you saying that JDBC cannot handle or process \gexec, since it is PG-15 exclusive?

Hello!

This issue really puzzles me beyond intrigue.

Why would this schema:
*SELECT 'CREATE DATABASE jme_test_database' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'jme_test_database')\gexec*
work when entered at the psql prompt, but not when passed as a parameter in a JDBC method?

The bellow snip demonstrates the the creation of a String object with same character string used in the PSQL#.
//CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*var s = new ***myString*(SELECT 'CREATE DATABASE jme_test_database' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT FROM pg_database WHERE datname = 'jme_test_database')\gexec);**


\gexec is a psql specific meta-command.

See Meta-Commands here:

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
