# Create Database
`createdb dex_db`
On the PostgreSQL server, login as a user with appropriate permissions and create a database and user for dex to use. These can be named arbitrarily, but are called `dex_db` and `dex`, respectively, in this example.
Let's store the connection string in a shell variable:
```sql
CREATE DATABASE dex_db;
CREATE USER dex WITH PASSWORD 'dex_pass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE dex_db TO dex;
```
`DEX_DB_URL=postgres://localhost/dex_db?sslmode=disable`
Store the [connection string](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING) for the dex database in an environment variable:
```
DEX_DB_URL=postgres://dex:dex_pass@localhost/dex_db?sslmode=disable
```
