Nageshwar - two tips for posting to the mailing lists
1. Don't reply to an existing message with a new question
2. Make sure the subject line describes your question.
Otherwise, many people won't notice your question and you'll get less
people able to help.
As to the best way of executing multiple CREATE TABLE statements, that
depends on whether you are using psql or some other client. With psql
I'd put the statements in a file, then use something like:
psql -f my_commands.sql
psql < my_commands.sql
Or, if you're logged into psql you could use:
\i my_commands.sql
All covered in the man page for psql.
I always wrap the whole lot in BEGIN ... COMMIT so that if (usually
when) I make a mistake it rolls back all the changes.
