create_database(name, options = {}) public

Create a new PostgreSQL database. Options include :owner, :template, :encoding (defaults to utf8), :collation, :ctype, :tablespace, and :connection_limit (note that MySQL uses :charset while PostgreSQL uses :encoding).

Example:

create_database config[:database], config
create_database 'foo_development', encoding: 'unicode'
