Creating new Postgres User and DB
This post is mostly a reminder for me in the future. However, others may find it useful also.
I love Postgres but more often than not I get frustrated and confused trying to get authentication working with a new database. By looking through the Deprec source code, I pulled out these two lines of code and so far they haven’t failed me:
su - postgres -c "createuser -P -D -A -E $DBUSER"
su - postgres -c "createdb -O $DBUSER $DBNAME"
Of course, replace $DBUSER
and
$DBNAME
with your desired username and database
name, or define them as shell variables. The
$DBUSER
creates that user as the owner of the
database (so it has permission to read/write etc).
