   Start PostgreSQL. Or, if PostgreSQL is already running, close all client connections to both databases, or just stop and restart PostgreSQL.

   To (re)creates the local databases and their extensions, tables, and functions, run:

    cd Servers/Database
    make                 # resets both databases
    make development     # resets just the development database
    make test            # resets just the test database
   

   Note: running psql acani_chats_development connects you to the local development database.
