+# Usage
+
+## Create an user for a database
+
+```sh
+$ sudo su - postgres
+postgres$ psql -c "CREATE USER cudami PASSWORD 'somepassword';"
+CREATE ROLE
+```
+
+## Create a database
+
+Let's create a database called "alexandria", owned by user "cudami" using german locale and collation (see <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/collation.html>).
+
+    The collation feature allows specifying the sort order and character classification behavior of data per-column, or even per-operation.
+    This alleviates the restriction that the LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings of a database cannot be changed after its creation.
+
+Locales of your system:
+
+```shell
+$ locale -a
+C
+C.utf8
+...
+de_DE.utf8
+...
+en_US.utf8
+en_ZA.utf8
+en_ZM
+en_ZM.utf8
+en_ZW.utf8
+POSIX
+```
+
+Create database (see <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/app-createdb.html>):
+
+```shell
+$ sudo su - postgres
+(postgres$ dropdb 'alexandria')
+postgres$ createdb alexandria -O cudami --lc-collate=de_DE.UTF-8 --lc-ctype=de_DE.UTF-8
+```
+
+## List databases
+
+```sh
