CREATE THE PostgreSQL DATABASE ------------------------------

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

1. CREATE DATABASE USER

This step is only necessary if you don't already have a user set up (e.g. by your host) or you want to create new user for use with Drupal only. The following command creates a new user named "username" and asks for a password for that user:

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

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

2. CREATE THE DRUPAL DATABASE

This step is only necessary if you don't already have a database set up (e.g. by your host) or you want to create new database for use with Drupal only. The following command creates a new database named "databasename", which is owned by previously created "username":

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

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