Even if we restricted the pattern to 'template[01]', it would fail if someone deleted and rebuilt template1, which is a supported operation now. If we want to do it in a backwards-compatible fashion in pgaccess, I'd recommend trying the datlastsysoid approach and then the other way if that fails. I'm just wondering if anyone cares ... regards, tom lane
