pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start

#2. Create a template to be used on creating GIS-enabled databases

createdb template_postgis
createlang plpgsql template_postgis

#If encountering errors like these:

#createuser: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: Permission denied
#    Is the server running locally and accepting

#[Mac OSX] Import Postgis Data
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/Cellar/postgis/1.5.3/share/postgis/postgis.sql
psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/local/Cellar/postgis/1.5.3/share/postgis/spatial_ref_sys.sql

#Test if works
psql -d template_postgis -c "SELECT postgis_full_version();"

#3. Set template permissions to gisgroup
createuser -R -S -L -D -I gisgroup;

psql -d template_postgis
ALTER DATABASE template_postgis OWNER TO gisgroup;
ALTER TABLE geometry_columns OWNER TO gisgroup;
ALTER TABLE spatial_ref_sys OWNER TO gisgroup;
CREATE SCHEMA gis_schema AUTHORIZATION gisgroup;

#4. Adds an app to your application
createuser -i -l -S -R -d <app_user>

psql -d postgres
GRANT gisgroup TO <app_user>;
