   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.
