[turba] how wrong is this?

the instructions for creating tables in the horde database are woefully
inadequate. When you go to the postgresql script you are given the instructions:
-- You can simply execute this file in your database.
--
-- Run as:
--
-- $ psql -d pgsql_create.sql
which leaves me scratching my chin and wonder what "simply executing this filing
your database" means. I thought database is stored data. so I try the command
and get:
[root at relay2 drivers]# psql -d pgsql_create.sql
psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "root"
simple I think, let's run as the database owner horde...
[root at relay2 drivers]# psql -d pgsql_create.sql -U horde -W
Password:
psql: FATAL: Database "pgsql_create.sql" does not exist in the system catalog.
curses, foiled again.
So reading through the postgresql documentation (reminding myself why I have
steadfastly avoided databases for 20 years), I set up authentication changes and
when I am able to list databases as root, I run this command line:
psql -d horde -f pgsql_create.sql -U horde -W
which gives me the results:
[root at relay2 drivers]# psql -d horde -f pgsql_create.sql -U horde -W
Password:
psql:pgsql_create.sql:8: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "CONNECT" at
character 1
psql:pgsql_create.sql:29: NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create
implicit index 'turba_objects_pkey' for table 'turba_objects'
CREATE TABLE
CREATE INDEX
GRANT
does this mean success or does this mean failure? Beats the heck out of me. I
don't have enough knowledge to know and the documentation doesn't say.
