+CREATE THE PostgreSQL DATABASE
+------------------------------
+
+Note that the database must be created with UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding.
+
+1. CREATE DATABASE USER
+
+   This step is only necessary if you don't already have a user set up (e.g., by
+   your host), or want to create a new user for use with Drupal only. The
+   following command creates a new user named 'username' and asks for a password
+   for that user:
+
+     createuser --pwprompt --encrypted --no-createrole --no-createdb username
+
+   If there are no errors, then the command was successful.
+
+2. CREATE DRUPAL DATABASE
+
+   This step is only necessary if you don't already have a database set up
+   (e.g., by your host) or want to create a new database for use with Drupal
+   only. The following command creates a new database named 'databasename',
+   which is owned by the previously created 'username':
+
+     createdb --encoding=UTF8 --owner=username databasename
+
+   If there are no errors, then the command was successful.
+
+3. CREATE SCHEMA OR SCHEMAS (Optional advanced step)
+
+   Drupal will run across different schemas within your database if you so wish.
+   By default, Drupal runs inside the 'public' schema but you can use $db_prefix
+   inside settings.php to define a schema for Drupal to run inside of, or
+   specify tables that are shared inside of a separate schema. Drupal will not
+   create schemas for you. In fact, the user that Drupal runs as should not be
+   allowed to do this. You'll need to execute the SQL below as a superuser,
+   replace 'username' with the username that Drupal uses to connect to
+   PostgreSQL, and replace 'schema_name' with a schema name you wish to use,
+   such as 'shared':
+
+     CREATE SCHEMA schema_name AUTHORIZATION username;
+
+   Do this for as many schemas as you need. See default.settings.php for
+   instructions on how to set which tables use which schemas.
