Follow below tutorial for a quick overview on how to create a cluster and connecting it to a database.

I assumed that you have already made up EDB account follow the link for more information on creating an account in EDB.

Create a cluster:

Creating a cluster

• On the overview page select Create a new cluster

You will be on the Create Cluster Page

• You will find options for your cluster. Select according to your requirements.

Connecting to the new Cluster:

• Select your cluster to get an overview of how it has been configured.
• Select the overview tab and copy the command. Paste in the terminal where psql is installed.

psql -W "postgres://edb_admin@p-qzwv2ns7pj.pg.biganimal.io:5432/edb_admin?sslmode=require"

The above command will prompt for your password and put you on a sql command line.

Creating a new Database:

We will create a new sample database employee.
Best practice is to isolate data.

• Create a new employee database.

create user employee with password 'employee_password';
create database employee;

• Grant the employee role to edb_admin:

grant employee to edb_admin

• Connect to the employee database. You will be prompted for edb_admin password(the one you provided above)

\connect employee
