To create a database using PgAccess, click the Database menu option at the top of the screen, then click New and
type in the name you wish to give the database. This will create a database as if you had called the SQL
CREATE DATABASE command from the currently logged-in database user. To use a template
other than template1 for the new database or set its encoding type, you will need to
either use the
createdb
program, or the CREATE DATABASE command from a
command line client (see Chapter 9).
