Creating a Directory Structure

Within your cs166 folder you should create a directory called project. Within the project folder create the three folders database, tables, and data.

$\fbox{ \begin{minipage}{4.5in} {\tt \$ mkdir project\\ \$ mkdir project/database\\ \$ mkdir project/tables\\ \$ mkdir project/data} \end{minipage} }$

These directories will be used for the following purposes:

project Will hold of the the files for the class project.
project/database Will hold the database files created by Postgres.
project/tables Will hold the table definitions that you will create for the project.
project/data Will hold the files that contain the data that you will load into the database.
