>Notes</H2
><P
> <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE DATABASE</TT
> cannot be executed inside a transaction
block.
</P
><P
> Errors along the line of <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"could not initialize database directory"</SPAN
>
are most likely related to insufficient permissions on the data
directory, a full disk, or other file system problems.
</P
><P
> Use <A
HREF="sql-dropdatabase.html"
>DROP DATABASE</A
> to remove a database.
</P
><P
> The program <A
HREF="app-createdb.html"
><SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>createdb</SPAN
></A
> is a
wrapper program around this command, provided for convenience.
</P
><P
> Although it is possible to copy a database other than <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template1</TT
>
by specifying its name as the template, this is not (yet) intended as
a general-purpose <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>COPY DATABASE</TT
>"</SPAN
> facility.
The principal limitation is that no other sessions can be connected to
the template database while it is being copied. <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE
DATABASE</TT
> will fail if any other connection exists when it starts;
otherwise, new connections to the template database are locked out
until <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE DATABASE</TT
> completes.
See <A
HREF="manage-ag-templatedbs.html"
>Section 21.3</A
> for more information.
</P
><P
> The character set encoding specified for the new database must be
compatible with the chosen locale settings (<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>LC_COLLATE</TT
> and
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>LC_CTYPE</TT
>). If the locale is <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>C</TT
> (or equivalently
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>POSIX</TT
>), then all encodings are allowed, but for other
locale settings there is only one encoding that will work properly.
(On Windows, however, UTF-8 encoding can be used with any locale.)
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE DATABASE</TT
> will allow superusers to specify
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SQL_ASCII</TT
> encoding regardless of the locale settings,
but this choice is deprecated and may result in misbehavior of
character-string functions if data that is not encoding-compatible
with the locale is stored in the database.
</P
><P
> The encoding and locale settings must match those of the template database,
except when <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template0</TT
> is used as template. This is because
other databases might contain data that does not match the specified
encoding, or might contain indexes whose sort ordering is affected by
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>LC_COLLATE</TT
> and <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>LC_CTYPE</TT
>. Copying such data would
result in a database that is corrupt according to the new settings.
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template0</TT
>, however, is known to not contain any data or
indexes that would be affected.
</P
><P
> The <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CONNECTION LIMIT</TT
> option is only enforced approximately;
if two new sessions start at about the same time when just one
connection <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"slot"</SPAN
> remains for the database, it is possible that
both will fail. Also, the limit is not enforced against superusers.

>Examples</H2
><P

</P
><P
> To create a database <TT

</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE DATABASE sales OWNER salesapp TABLESPACE salesspace;</PRE
><P>
</P
><P

>music</TT
> which supports the ISO-8859-1
character set:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE DATABASE music ENCODING 'LATIN1' TEMPLATE template0;</PRE
><P>
In this example, the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>TEMPLATE template0</TT

be required if <TT

Note that changing encoding might require selecting new
<TT
