This section describes how to start up an instance of a PostgreSQL Server database.

Creating a PostgreSQL Server instance.

Create a new instance of Bard.Db.PostgresDatabasepassing in the database name, username , password and port number.

var db = new PostgresDatabase(
    databaseName: "PostgreSQL_latest",
    postgresUser: "Db_user",
    password: "Password1",
    portNumber: "5432",
    tagName: "latest");

Port number, and tagName are optional. If they are not supplied then the default value is

latest & 5432

Starting up the Database

var result = await db.StartDatabaseAsync();

This may take a little time the first time as Docker needs to download the image in the background.
