<para>
Normally, the creator becomes the owner of the new database.
A different owner may be specified by using the <option>OWNER</>
clause (but only superusers may create databases on behalf of other users).
To create a database owned by oneself, either superuser privilege
or CREATEDB privilege is required. A superuser may create a database
for another user, even if that user has no special privileges himself.
