First thing incorrect is that you aren't creating a database,
you are creating tables inside of an existing one.
Second you just told us the statements that didn't work, but
not what the database is yelling, nor which version of
Postgres did so or the like.
Forgiven :-)
Third the comma after "PRIMARY KEY" in the "workers" table
declaration is a syntax error.
Forth you forgot to specify the data type of "owner" in the
"payments" table. If I add "decimal(10)" before "REFERENCES"
it works pretty good in 7.0.x.
