- 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.
