I say, create the tables when the package starts for the first time. As an analogy, programs using Berkeley-type databases normally set up their databases automatically when they run and don't require postinst processing.
Hmmm, I doubt I understand this right. I will package GnuMed which contains
a server package (more or less SQL scripts which are feeded into PostgreSQL)
and a client package which accesses the GnuMed database on the server.
I see no chance to create the database outside of the postinst script.
Did I missunderstood something?
Kind regards
