PostgreSQL version - New DB crestion

Post by oversampling »

Hi,

I just purchased the PSU postgreSQL server licence and installed PSU on my system (w7 32bit).
After installing on the same machine the PostgreSQL sw package AND PSU (postgreQSL server version) I tried to connect them.
I must have messed the configuration up and deleted the two DBs (idthumbs and photosupreme).
So, believing that a PSU reinstallation would re-create the 2 DBs I tried to remove and reinstall PSU.
My problem is that in the subsequent installations PSU is not asking anymore to re-create the DBs. It only gives me the option to connect to an EXISTING DB (which in my case doesn't exist anymore...). And without an existing DB PSU does not start up at all...
Could anyone suggest me how to force PSU to provide the option to create a NEW DB (as it was in the first installation)?

Roberto

Could you re-install Postgres?

Otherwise, dropping the PSU tables adn re-installing PSU should actually invoke the DB creation.

If that doesn't work, email Hert.

You can force the database creation dialog by holding down Ctrl+Alt+WinKey (Ctrl-Alt-Cmd on OSX) and then launch PSU while holding this combination down.
