Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to be
cloned, rather than always cloning template1. Modify initdb to generatetwo identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remainin its virgin as-initdb'd state. pg_dumpall now dumps databases withrestore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.initdb forced!

Although it is possible to copy a database other than template1 by
266+
specifying its name as the template, this is not (yet) intended as
267+
a general-purpose COPY DATABASE facility. In particular, it is
268+
essential that the source database be idle (no data-altering transactions
269+
in progress)
270+
for the duration of the copying operation. CREATE DATABASE will check
271+
that no backend processes (other than itself) are connected to
272+
the source database at the start of the operation, but this does not
273+
guarantee that changes cannot be made while the copy proceeds. Therefore,
274+
we recommend that databases used as templates be treated as read-only.

Two useful flags exist in <literal>pg_database</literal> for each

database: <literal>datistemplate</literal> and

<literal>datallowconn</literal>. <literal>datistemplate</literal>
281+
may be set to indicate that a database is intended as a template for
282+
CREATE DATABASE. If this flag is set, the database may be cloned by
283+
any user with CREATEDB privileges; if it is not set, only superusers
284+
and the owner of the database may clone it.
285+
If <literal>datallowconn</literal> is false, then no new connections
286+
to that database will be allowed (but existing sessions are not killed
287+
simply by setting the flag false). The <literal>template0</literal>
288+
database is normally marked this way to prevent modification of it.
