I'd like to log into my newly installed PostgreSQL [ PostgreSQL 12.15
(Debian 12.15-1.pgdg120+1) ] using my linux account.
In trying to do that this web page
<https://alvinalexander.com/blog/post/postgresql/log-in-postgresql-database/>suggest that I enter :
psql -d mydb -U myuser -W
However, that command requires a database_name (mydb), and PosgreSQL 12.15 being so freshly installed does not yet
have any database created by me.
How would you suggest I circumvent this challenge?
The tutorial
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/tutorial.html
would be a good place to start.
From said tutorial:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/tutorial-createdb.html
createdb mydb
Which in turn leads to:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-createdb.html
Mind you that, using the postgres account I have created other accounts.
