Thread: template1 problems
Postgresql 8.0 Linux. using PGAdmin III 1.2 client I accidentally did a restore of my database into template1. I thought the best way to reverse it would be to drop the database and make a new one with template0 as the template. But it didn't like that because template1 is a system database so I can't drop it. Is there a better way of fixing this then going through and deleting all the objects one at a time? Thanks Sim
