See MySQL for list of things that have to be done for any database (both MySQL and Postgres).

1. Postgres-specific setup

1. $dir = /afs/hcoop.net/common/databases/USERNAME/postgres

If $dir does NOT exist:

1. sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER USERNAME" template1

2. mkdir -p $dir
3. chown postgres:postgres "$dir"
4. fs setacl -dir $dir -acl postgres write
5. fs setacl -dir $dir -acl databases none # (keep out other databases, just in case)
6. fs setacl -dir $dir -acl system:backup rl # (should be inherited from parent dir)

7. sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE TABLESPACE user_USERNAME OWNER USERNAME LOCATION '$dir'" template1

When it does, go directly to database creation step:

1. sudo -u postgres createdb -O USERNAME -D user_USERNAME DBNAME
