I would venture to guess a very small number of people.

That sounds like a funny name for a gnucash database...

How did you create 'template1'?

What is in the table 'gncVersion'?

The postgres backend isn't really supported.  Specifically, none of the
active devs use it, it doesn't support all the features of GnuCash

to replace it.

The best help you're going to get is from yourself and the sources.
