title: How to get put data into a database using psql
body: <p>I am new to databases and psql. I simply want to set up a database and insert some data into it. I would like to know how, at the command line, to do the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>create a database.</li>
  <li>insert some data into it.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>There are many tutorials online but they seem to be referencing different tools that allow you do do this. I would prefer to not use any tools and understand how to do this from the command line using psql.</p>
