Hello,

During translating the docs I found the following sentence
in the tutorial section about createdb:

"Database names must have an alphabetic first character
and are limited to 63 characters"

I wondered - really characters? shouldn't it be bytes?

I just tested - creating a database by using German umlauts
let me get sure - it are bytes not characters.

Here is the patch with the correction - I just changed the word
characters into bytes.

Susanne
