Creating the initial database

RT Users
1

In the install docs, I see a line: make initialize-database
I also see a configure option --with-db-database=DBNAME default:rt3

Is the following correct:

  1. If I specify --with-db-database=DBNAME then make initialize-database
    will require DBNAME to exist already and create tables etc. in that
    database?

  2. If I do not use the configure option --with-db-database, make
    initialize-database will create a new database, named rt3, for me and go
    from there?

Thanks.
