# PosgreSQL on Debian

There is an instance of PostgreSQL running on the `orca` VM. Here are some pointers on working with it (taken from [the Debian PostgreSql page](https://wiki.debian.org/PostgreSql)).

# Create a new user

```
sudo su - postgres
createuser --pwprompt <user>
```

# Create a new database

```
sudo su - postgres
createdb -O <user> <database>
```
