[GRASS-user] Postgresql/postgis making databases

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.
