[GRASS-user] Postgresql/postgis making databases

[Kurt Springs]

Hi folks,

I have finally gotten postgresql and postgis installed along with  
pgadm3 on OS X 10.4.9, which leaves me at the point of "What Now?"

Keep in that my familiarity is with Filemaker and Access, which, I am  
sure every one will agree, are fairly "turn key" as the old  
expression goes.  Potgresql is another matter.  I need someone's help  
get to the next step.  I believe passwords and permissions need to be  
sorted out, then In need to create my data bases.  I will need to  
create tables, categories, populate the databases, and be able to  
edit the information.  Also, I need to be able to move the database  
file(s) from my desktop to my laptop.  Step by step instructions  
would be best.

I am planning on starting work on my PhD research this summer, and  
would like to use postgresql/postgis to create and maintain my  
archaeological database.

Anyone's help would be appreciated.
