development platform: HP Compaq 6710b postgresql 9.6 Operating System: Ubuntu 17.10
It probably doesn't matter since there is nothing in the database. I don't remember how I created the database. It appears that postgresql does not like a dash in the database name. I have not tried to create a table under the database. When I try to drop the database I get the following..
date_time=# DROP DATABASE test-aria; ERROR: syntax error at or near "-" LINE 1: DROP DATABASE test-aria;
