Hi,

sorry, i am a PostgesSQL beginner:
  • I  started the pgadmin tool as superuser.
  • Created the database OfficeTalk
  • Created the schema OfficeTalk with same permissions as the template pg_template_1
  • If i create the table OfficeTalk.absent .... >>> schema not found
  • Creating the same table in schema pg_template_1 works fine.
I could not found any solution. Can anybod help me ?

I think it's because of uppercase letters: if you don't quote ... create table "OfficeTalk.absent" ....  , postgresql will lowercase everything

Are you sure pg_template_1 isn't a database?

If not, I'd suspect quoting issues. Fire up psql and do a \dn to see
what schemas are actually in your database - if they were quoted when
they were created they'll maintain their case, otherwise they'll be
lower-case.

Once you create something with mixed-case you'll always need to
reference it quoted, e.g.

CREATE TABLE "OfficeTalk".absent (
  a int4,
  ...
);
