I was using
dropdbandcreatedbto recreate a whole database whenever I needed to do a complete clean up for my under development project.I came across a situation where I was not able to connect using the (default) maintenance database (which is
template1in 9.2, for more read here). So to make drop/create work without the maintenance database I had to improvise. I connected to the database I wanted to drop, and I dropped/recreated the public schema instead.
