<p>We’ve now seen how to create a PostgreSQL database and user, as well as how to connect to our database and list relations</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">Create Using the Control Panel</a><a class="headerlink" href="#create-using-the-control-panel" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>We’ll now see how to create our user and database via the control panel.</p>
<p>Begin by clicking “PostgreSQL Database Server” on the left menu</p>
<p><strong>1. Click the “PostgreSQL Users” icon as show below</strong></p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/1-Create-DB-user.png"><img alt="../../_images/1-Create-DB-user.png" src="../../_images/1-Create-DB-user.png" style="width: 100%;" /></a>
<img alt="../../_images/spacer1.png" src="../../_images/spacer1.png" />
<p><strong>2. Click the “Create New User” button as show below</strong></p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/2-Create-DB-user-2.png"><img alt="../../_images/2-Create-DB-user-2.png" src="../../_images/2-Create-DB-user-2.png" style="width: 100%;" /></a>
<img alt="../../_images/spacer1.png" src="../../_images/spacer1.png" />
<p><strong>3. For the usrname, enter geouser, for the password enter a secure password.</strong></p>
<p><strong>4. Click the “Create” button</strong></p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/3-Create-DB-user-3.png"><img alt="../../_images/3-Create-DB-user-3.png" src="../../_images/3-Create-DB-user-3.png" style="width: 100%;" /></a>
<img alt="../../_images/spacer1.png" src="../../_images/spacer1.png" />
<p><strong>5. Back on the main PostgreSQL Database menu, click the “Create a New Database” button</strong></p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/4-Create-DB-panel-1.png"><img alt="../../_images/4-Create-DB-panel-1.png" src="../../_images/4-Create-DB-panel-1.png" style="width: 100%;" /></a>
<img alt="../../_images/spacer1.png" src="../../_images/spacer1.png" />
<p><strong>6. For the database name, enter geodb and select the user we created (geouser) from the dropdown for Database Owner.</strong></p>
<p><strong>7. Click the Create button</strong></p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/5-Create-DB-panel-2.png"><img alt="../../_images/5-Create-DB-panel-2.png" src="../../_images/5-Create-DB-panel-2.png" style="width: 100%;" /></a>
<img alt="../../_images/spacer1.png" src="../../_images/spacer1.png" />
<p><strong>The database should now appear in the main PostgreSQL section.</strong></p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/6-view-database.png"><img alt="../../_images/6-view-database.png" src="../../_images/6-view-database.png" style="width: 100%;" /></a>
<img alt="../../_images/spacer1.png" src="../../_images/spacer1.png" />
<p>We’ve now used the control panel to create a PostgreSQL user and database.</p>
