- Description
- </title>
- <para>
- <application>createdb</application> creates a new
- <productname>Postgres</productname> database.
- The person who executes this command becomes
- the database administrator, or <acronym>DBA</acronym>,
- for this database and is the only
- person, other than the <productname>Postgres</productname> super-user,
- who can destroy it.
- </para>
- <para>
- <application>createdb</application> is a shell script that invokes
- <application>psql</application>.
- Hence, a <application>postmaster</application>
- process must be running on the database server host before
- <application>createdb</application>
- is executed. The
- <envar>PGOPTION</envar>
- and
- <envar>PGREALM</envar>
- environment variables will be passed on to
- <application>psql</application>
- and processed as described in <xref endterm="psql-ref"
- linkend="app-psql">.
