Description

## Why are we implementing it? (sales eng)

### What are the typical use cases?

## Communication goals (e.g. detailed howto vs orientation)

Let people know they can use initdb wherever they like.

### Good locations for content in docs structure

## How does this work? (devs)

### Example sql

### Corner cases, gotchas

### Are there relevant blog posts or outside documentation about the concept/feature?
