Excellent! We are now sitting at the command prompt of our new database. The hash mark indicates that a superuser is logged in. (An angle brace would indicate a less-privileged user.) You would use \q to quit (i.e., testdb=# \q). man psql lists all of the PostgresSQL commands. All commands that begin with a backslash are internal psql commands. They are not operating system shell commands, and they are not SQL commands.

Now, let's list all of our databases. (The last column of the table has been separated out so it'll all fit on the page, but this will be one table on your screen.)
