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'

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql/schema_statements.rb, line 22
        def create_database(name, options = {})
          options = { encoding: "utf8" }.merge!(options.symbolize_keys)

          option_string = options.each_with_object(+"") do |(key, value), memo|
            memo << case key
                    when :owner
                      " OWNER = \"#{value}\""
                    when :template
                      " TEMPLATE = \"#{value}\""
                    when :encoding
                      " ENCODING = '#{value}'"
                    when :collation
                      " LC_COLLATE = '#{value}'"
                    when :ctype
                      " LC_CTYPE = '#{value}'"
                    when :tablespace
                      " TABLESPACE = \"#{value}\""
