Unable to trigger createdb
Hello,
I have PostgreSQL installed on my computer and tried creating a database in
the command prompt using the createdb method, but was presented with this
error message:
[image: image.png]
Nor was I able to delete said database:

Why is it that I have psql installed, and yet seem not to be able to use
the various functions; is it a folder/extensions issue, or is there
something else at play that I am not aware of?
Thank you,
Jack

Not knowing Windows at all, it seems that this could be quite installation
specific, so more information on that could potentially help diagnose this.
How did you install postgres (which installer, which version)?

Thanks for all the feedback.
I think I have it figured out from here, but it's still good knowing the
different ways to go about solving this issue.
