<pre wrap="">I still have one problem with this procedure. The owner of

postgres instead of the owner of the new database.

When you create a database, the database itself is owned by the user
that issued the create database command....if that user was 'postgres',
then he/she would own the database. If you look at the syntax of the
create database command, they you'll see how you can set the owner of a
DB when you create the DB. However, I suspect that isn't your problem.<br>
<br>
Instead, I think that you have a schema or other objects in the
'template_postgis' database that is owned by the user 'postgres'. That
schema, along with any other permissions *inside* the database are
copied "as is" when creating a new database (regardless of the database
owner). As such, you should change the ownership of the schema so
that it's owned by the appropriate user (the same would go for any
tables, indexes, etc. inside the database that you want owned by
someone else).<br>
<br>
I recommend you check out the online help for 'ALTER SCHEMA', 'ALTER
TABLE', 'ALTER SEQUENCE', and the other related commands to see how to
change the ownership of the objects you want to change.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>

Is it normal? Is there a way to change that?

<pre wrap="">Jop. I get also the same. Just try to disconnect in pgAdmin and
reconnect. Than click ONLY on that database, in which you want to do
somethink. Dont open "template_postgis" table. You must have an red
cross iccon on "template_postgis" database.
Try, and good luck.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I've just installed postgresql 8.2.5 and postgis 1.3.2 on my mac and
everything works great so far. Now I'm just looking for a way to
simplify the creation of postgis-enabled databases in pgAdmin.
I saw that in the Windows distribution, there is a template to do so,
but there is no such template in my installation. Knowing that it's
the first time that I use postgresql and postgis, is there a way to
create such a template?
