I've just installed the beta version of PeerDirect's Postgres. According tothe instructions I am able to create a database with createdb comand, after that I do psql and get a prompt (e.g default =#). When I try to executeany of the SQL comannds I get a bad command error. If I do \h I get Help available: message and that's it. Nothing else is coming up? I know I'm doing something wrong I just need to know what is it.

Can anyone give me an advise on this?

Thanks!

Are you opening the database you created? That is, at your command line
you will execute 'psql databasename' to load the database you just created.
By not specifying a database when you load psql you are opening a default
template.
