Re: How to query information schema from shell script

In my original email i forgot to mentioned i need to know if the
database exists or not from the shell script.  If it doesn't exist i
would then create it.  Currently i was just creating the db everytime
our db script is run (since it doesn't hurt the db) but this generates
the 'db already exists' log and I now have the requirement that the
users not see that log.  ie, don't run createdb if it already exists.

In looking through the postgres docs i can see how to check if a table
exists but not how a db exists.

Again, thanks for the help.
