Re: Problems after instaling PostgreSQL 7.0

Use the createdb program to create a database. For example,
./createdb testdb

Then, run psql specifying the testdb database. For example,
./psql testdb

Once you are successfully running psql, you can define new users
with the CREATE USER statement.. For example,
create user mauricio

Any such user can then log on under their own user ID and run
./psql testdb

You can use the GRANT statement to grant other users access to tables.
