At the moment, I have installed postGreSql 9.1 for windows with the extension of postGIS on it.

Now, I want to create a new Database in PostGIS.

Can someones guide me with an easy to follow and exact procedure on how to go about this, have gone through the documentation, but its too confusing.

    Create database:

    createdb mygeodatabase

    Add PostGIS functions to it (PostGIS 2.0, PostgreSQL 9.2):

    psql mygeodatabase
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

    With older PostGIS/PostgreSQL versions (your folders depend on OS):

    psql -d mygeodatabase -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql
psql -d mygeodatabase -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/contrib/postgis-1.5/spatial_ref_sys.sql
