Thread: destroydb: command not found
I've installed the 7.0.3-SuSE rpms and have got everything working....but it appears the destroydb program didn't get installed. All the other progs (createuser, createdb, etc...) got installed to /usr/bin, but there isn't a destroydb. I used the defaults during the install. So the binaries (should have) went to /usr/bin and everything else to /var/lib/pgsql/data. Why would destroydb not have been installed? Tim

Thanks! A suggestion though: I was following the online documentation...that documentation referred to "destroydb". It would be helpful to change those references accordingly. (I think I was reading through the administrator's guide from the integrated online docs, but I just glanced back through those sections and can't find the exact section I was reading earlier. If I come across it again, I'll let you know where I found it so it can be corrected.) Again, thanks.

There is no mention in the current docs of destroydb. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
My apologies! I was reading the online docs for v6.5. That would explain why I didn't find it when I was looking in the 7.0 docs. Tim On 21 Jul 2001 22:27:13 -0400, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > Thanks!
