+PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management
+system (ORDBMS) based on POSTGRES. With more than 15 years of
+development history, it is quickly becoming the de facto
+database for enterprise level open source solutions.
+
+Before you can run postgresql you'll need to create the database;
+please see README.SBo.
+
+You need a "postgres" user and group prior to building postgresql.
+Something like this will suffice for most systems:
+ groupadd -g 209 postgres
+ useradd -u 209 -g 209 -d /var/lib/pgsql postgres
+Feel free to use a different uid and gid if desired, but 209 is
+recommended to avoid conflicts with other stuff from SlackBuilds.org.
