I guess this is on the server side, in a Linux shell or similar?
I think this should be clarified in the text.
We haven’t even mentioned psql yet, aside from the conventions page where we cover $ means a shell prompt.
And what also could be clarified: can a database only be created on the
server side?
Or is there also a client (SQL) command to create a new database on the
server?
The description of createdb explains it is a wrapper for the “create database” sql command.
If I am to add anything it would probably be on the “architecture fundamentals” page. The points brought up are not specific to createdb and probably should be explained up-front as to the fact we have wrapped a number of SQL utility commands for the DBA as executable programs.
