I'm runnin postgres 7.?? (Last RPM package available from the site). I want to create a few DB creation scripts so I can "publish" that afterwards. On Oracle there's a such possibility but I haven't seen anything comaprable in the docs ... I however think I'm missing one of the very first possibility of "pgsql". Could someone point me were I could find some more infos on that matter ?

Are you talking about writing external scripts and importing them into
Postgres in a manner similar to the @ function in SQL*Plus? In psql, you
can use \i to import scripts to do that.

If it's to be used in shell scripts, it's just as easy to pipe: psql dbname<create_table.sql -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2501 Howitzvej 75 �ben 14.00-18.00 Email: kar@webline.dk 2000 Frederiksberg L�rdag 11.00-17.00 Web: www.suse.dk
Hi Thomas,
Is it possible you're looking for:
psql -f script.sql <database>
?
