Enter psql postgres to get started

Some handy command for Postgres

• CREATE DATABASE gpd_dev;
• Dump .pgsql into DB psql gpd_dev < ./GitHub-Plagiarism-Detector/server/database.sql

Useful commands in psql command line

• to use DB \c gpd_dev
• To list all DBS \list
• To list all Tables use \dt
• To Empty table truncate [table_name] cascade; #if foreign keys are there
