Possible error in postgres install instructions

Description (Last modified by davidh)

On the following page which gives instructions for setting up the postgres db

http://open.rsp.com.au/projects/earth/wiki/CreatingEarthDatabases

the following command for creating the earth user is given

createuser --no-superuser --no-createdb --no-createrole earth

however it would seem that for testing purposes the earth user needs to be able to delete and create the earth_test database, so the earth user should have create permissions, i.e.

createuser --no-superuser --createdb --no-createrole earth

can somebody confirm this before we update the instructions

@DavidH: That sounds right to me. Please go ahead and update the documentation. ;-)

Or in retrospective, it should have a different user for the test DB ... so that you don't run the risk of dropping a DB with the production/development user. Maybe have earth_test_user for the tests?
