Hi

I am getting an error :

bash-3.2$ psql -d postgres
Welcome to psql 8.3.17 (server 9.1.2), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help with psql commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

WARNING:  You are connected to a server with major version 9.1,
but your psql client is major version 8.3.  Some backslash commands,
such as \d, might not work properly.

postgres=# create database test_db

all ok so far ... no errors

then

postgres-# \c test_db
FATAL:  database "test_db" does not exist
Previous connection kept
.....

postgres-# \c testdb
FATAL:  database "testdb" does not exist
Previous connection kept
....
