title: create database, simplest way possible using psql commands
body: <p>So I installed postgreSQL version 9.2.4 using the default installer settings on Windows 7 64 bit.
  Then I launched the SQL Shell(psql) command line tool and enter all the defaults plus the password I used during the install.  It logs in.  The problem is that a database cannot be created, or so it appears.</p>
  
  <p>I typed in creatdb mydb</p>
  
  <p>also tried CREATE DATABASE mydb</p>
  
  <p>I assume something happens, but when I type \list I just see the default installed databases.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something here?  Coming from MySQL and this simple task is puzzling.
  No errors, nothing.</p>
