If you haven't already, create a database and a user with appropriate permissions. You can use `psql` or a tool like pgAdmin.

```sql
-- Create the database
CREATE DATABASE "SDG-Backend";

-- Create the user
CREATE USER "SDG-Backend-Admin" WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';

-- Grant privileges
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "SDG-Backend" TO "SDG-Backend-Admin";
```

```bash
dotnet add package Npgsql
dotnet add package Dapper
```

### Running the Application
