CREATE ROLE k2patel LOGIN PASSWORD 'test' VALID UNTIL 'infinity';

CREATE TABLESPACE k2patel OWNER k2patel LOCATION '/var/lib/pgsql/k2patel';

CREATE DATABASE k2patel WITH OWNER = k2patel ENCODING = 'UTF8' TABLESPACE = k2patel LC_COLLATE = 'en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE = 'en_US.UTF-8' CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;
