     3 CREATE THE PostgreSQL DATABASE

     4 ------------------------------

     5 

     6 Note that the database must be created with UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding.

     7 

     8 1. CREATE DATABASE USER

     9 

    10    This step is only necessary if you don't already have a user set up (e.g.

    11    by your host) or you want to create new user for use with Drupal only. The

    12    following command creates a new user named "username" and asks for a

    13    password for that user:

    14 

    15      createuser --pwprompt --encrypted --no-adduser --no-createdb username

    16 

    17    If everything works correctly, you'll see a "CREATE USER" notice.

    18 

    19 2. CREATE THE DRUPAL DATABASE

    20 

    21    This step is only necessary if you don't already have a database set up (e.g.

    22    by your host) or you want to create new database for use with Drupal only.

    23    The following command creates a new database named "databasename", which is

    24    owned by previously created "username":

    25 

    26      createdb --encoding=UNICODE --owner=username databasename

    27 

    28    If everything works correctly, you'll see a "CREATE DATABASE" notice.
