Using Postgres
--------------
Set up database
===============
The PostgreSQL database used *must* have the correct encoding set, otherwise
would not be able to store UTF8 strings. To create a database with the correct
encoding use, e.g.::
CREATE DATABASE synapse
ENCODING 'UTF8'
LC_COLLATE='C'
LC_CTYPE='C'
template=template0
OWNER synapse_user;
This would create an appropriate database named ``synapse`` owned by the
``synapse_user`` user (which must already exist).
Set up client
