Creating PostgreSQL db

[Anon]

I've been looking for a way to create a postgresql database in PHP code and I'm not finding it. Is there a way to do this, or perhaps to use shell_exec to do this?

Basically, I have FTP access to an ISP's server but no telnet access, so I can't use the normal channel to create users and databases.

well, if you can connect to A database, the create database <name> will work for ya... or try exec() function using createdb from the command line.

SQL supports creation of databases and tables from specially constructed queries. My expertise is MS SQL, so I would recommend you hit the Postgres documentation to get the proper format.
