[Bug-gnubg] How does one set up the database

[Jim Segrave]

I finally got around to building python support in gnubg (under
FreeBSD 5.2, it finally does threading correctly and doesn't steal all
the idle CPU).

A digression before the main question:

  I still can't get the autoconfigure chain to work on this system and
  am forced to use autogen.sh.

  Configure makes no check for a package config for libfgtl, so it never
  finds the include files needed

  Someone still needs to decide if we'll only use bison and flex (which
  produce the expected output files) or not specify the output files,
  and use the old ylwrap hack.

Now the main question:

Given python, postgers 7.41 and the python postgres interface, how
does one actually construct the database so that it can be used?

Eg: initdb (some paramters)
    postmaster (other parameters) or 
    psql (parameters)
    magic to initialise the database

An indication of what steps to take for a relative data-base dummy
would be most useful (I know I need to read the postgres docs, but
there's an awful lot of it to be read)
