Hello All,

How to create a PostgreSql database programatically, so that our app can check whether the database exists or not. If it doesn't exist, it will create the database.

I did it with MySql and SQLite. But I don't know how to do it with PostgreSQL.

Because we have to pass the database name in DbPGConnection() function.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sudip,
I think you can read "contrib\hbpgsql\tests\simple.prg" on harbour distribution package.
I've done some experience with PostGreSql and I prefer to create the database with the tool pgadmin (I think about user privilegies, etc); instead for tables I use the SQL language.
I've worked with Harbour PgSql contrib library.

Best regards

Hi Sudip,
I've read on internet (developer PostGreSql) you can connect with DbName as the user name; other way connect the templates databases.
Then you can create database
I don't try!!!

Hi Luigi,

Thanks a lot
