I need to create a database and a user and make this new user the owner of this new database. Since I cannot access postgres db from pgadmin client on my desktop, I tried to do the same from the command line on the linux db server: su - postgres -bash-4.1$ psql -d postgres
postgres=# create user puser password 'xxxxxx' postgres=# create database pfdb owner puser If I now try to list databases using \l it lists postgres, template0 and template1 but not the new database I created... How can I create a new database successfully ? It will be easier for me to try this from the pgadmin client.
