a) we can't redirect because the channel for the interactive
question(s) (yes/no, passwords) seems to be the same as for
the psql output for some reason
b) we need redirection to capture all the output in order to
have any hope of evaluating it (couldn't get Python to control
psql via a pipe)

I'd be delighted to learn how to do that in SQL.

I'd be delighted to learn how to do that in SQL.
The one way I can think of would be to make the bootstrap
script drop/rename the DATABASE it wants to install after
asking for confirmation. Is that what people want ?
