Hi,

Having a Postgres related database rake error, wonder if you can give me  
some suggestion to fix this issue:

Environment:

Ubuntu Desktop (9.04) 64-bit  
Postgres SQL 64-Bit (latest official release)  
Ruby-pg installed.

Error:

I can successfully execute Rake db:create and see the database get  
created.  
But, Rake db:migrate returned an database not found error.

Regards,

JB
