The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/tutorial-createdb.html Description:
I'm new to PostgreSQL and following the getting started guide. I expected it to start from zero, but it assumes the reader already has a database up and running and is already connected to it. 1.3 Creating a database I got here and tried the command `createdb mydb`, but it didn't work. I had connected to the database (sudo su - postgres) and thought that was the only step because the command prompt was now `postgre@username`. After quite a bit of beginner searching on the internet, I found I then had to type `psql` to actually connect. It'd be really great for new users if the Getting Started guide was more of a walkthrough that contained all the steps--even those little ones of getting connected that experienced users overlook.
