PostgreSQL: Create schema in specific database

Question

I need to write an sql script that creates both a new database AND a new schema in the database I just created.

How can I do it? Can I somehow change the current database to the new one? Or can I somehow specify the database for CREATE SCHEMA?

I'm using PostgreSQL 9.0

Answer 1

Login to New-Database with new user:

postgres=> \connect newdb user1 ... You are now connected to database "newdb" as user "user1". newdb=>  

To create schema with new user "user1" in newdb:

newdb=> CREATE SCHEMA s1; 

To list the schema :

SELECT * from information_schema.schemata; 

Answer 2

You can connect to the database, and execute the "CREATE SCHEMA" statement. That should result in a new schema in that database. It's not as tough as you think ;) When you want to do this from a .SQL file instead, you can use the \connect command as such:

 CREATE DATABASE foo;  \connect foo;  CREATE SCHEMA yourschema;
