 # Running dcrpool with PostgreSQL
 
-Tested with PostgreSQL 13.0.
+Tested with PostgreSQL 13.0, 14.9, 15.4, and 16.0.
 
 **Note:** When running in Postgres mode, backups will not be created
 automatically by dcrpool.
 
 ## Setup
 
-1. Connect to your instance of PostgreSQL using `psql` to create a new database
-    and a new user for dcrpool.
+1. Connect to your instance of PostgreSQL using `psql` to create a new role and
+    a new database for dcrpool.
     Be sure to substitute the example password `12345` with something more secure.
 
     ```no-highlight
-    postgres=# CREATE DATABASE dcrpooldb;
-    CREATE DATABASE
-    postgres=# CREATE USER dcrpooluser WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '12345';
+    postgres=# CREATE ROLE dcrpooluser WITH LOGIN NOINHERIT PASSWORD '12345';
     CREATE ROLE
-    postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE dcrpooldb to dcrpooluser;
-    GRANT
+    postgres=# CREATE DATABASE dcrpooldb OWNER dcrpooluser;
+    CREATE DATABASE
     ```
 
 1. **Developers only** - if you are modifying code and wish to run the dcrpool
    test suite, you will need to create an additional database.
 
     ```no-highlight
-    postgres=# CREATE DATABASE dcrpooltestdb;
+    postgres=# CREATE DATABASE dcrpooltestdb OWNER dcrpooluser;
     CREATE DATABASE
-    postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE dcrpooltestdb to dcrpooluser;
-    GRANT
     ```
 
 1. Add the database connection details to the dcrpool config file.
