hi,
here's all i did:
1. # su postgres
2. createuser <foo>
3. createdb <foo>
4. $ psql <data-base foo: the "foo" for #3 above>
synopsis:
1: to change to postres "administrator";
2: to create "user"/non-root access (to the postgres
"server");
3: to create a database;
4: to start a "console" session of postgresql. (or,
if you want a gui "frontend," try (apt-get install)
pgaccess or gtksql.)
