> In order to create a database, the <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
>
server must be up and running (see <A
HREF="server-start.html"
>Section 17.3</A
>).
</P

> Databases are created with the SQL command
<A

</P><PRE

where <TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>name</I
></TT
> follows the usual rules for
<ACRONYM
CLASS="ACRONYM"
>SQL</ACRONYM
> identifiers. The current role automatically
becomes the owner of the new database. It is the privilege of the
owner of a database to remove it later (which also removes all
the objects in it, even if they have a different owner).
</P
><P
> The creation of databases is a restricted operation. See <A
HREF="role-attributes.html"
>Section 20.2</A
> for how to grant permission.
</P
><P
> Since you need to be connected to the database server in order to
execute the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE DATABASE</TT
> command, the
question remains how the <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>first</I
></SPAN
> database at any given
site can be created. The first database is always created by the
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>initdb</TT
> command when the data storage area is
initialized. (See <A
HREF="creating-cluster.html"
>Section 17.2</A
>.) This
database is called
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>postgres</TT
>. So to
create the first <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"ordinary"</SPAN
> database you can connect to
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>postgres</TT
>.
</P
><P
> A second database,
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template1</TT
>,
is also created during database cluster initialization. Whenever a
new database is created within the
cluster, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template1</TT
> is essentially cloned.
This means that any changes you make in <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template1</TT
> are
propagated to all subsequently created databases. Because of this,
avoid creating objects in <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>template1</TT
> unless you want them
propagated to every newly created database. More details
appear in <A
HREF="manage-ag-templatedbs.html"
>Section 21.3</A
>.
</P
><P
> As a convenience, there is a program you can
execute from the shell to create new databases,
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>createdb</TT
>.
</P><PRE
CLASS="SYNOPSIS"
>createdb <TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>dbname</I
></TT
></PRE
><P>
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>createdb</TT
> does no magic. It connects to the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>postgres</TT
>
database and issues the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE DATABASE</TT
> command,
exactly as described above.
The <A
HREF="app-createdb.html"
><SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>createdb</SPAN
></A
> reference page contains the invocation
details. Note that <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>createdb</TT

a database with the current user name.
