Hello You could try: psql -U postgres template1 but it might be a very good idea to create your own test database first. This you can do by createdb -U postgres test_name and then psql -U postgres test_name PostgreSQL is excellent, fast and robust database server. I've had it running in production environment for two years now and it's under constant update/query load for 16h per day - works like magic. --Jyry C:-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-(
