Creating a New Database

To create a new database, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Databases icon in the left tree menu.

  2. Click the Create tab at the top right. The Create Database page appears.

  3. Enter the database name. This is the name that the system will use to refer to this database.

  4. Select a security database to be associated with this database. We recommend selecting Security as the security database.

  5. Select a schema database to be associated with this database.

  6. You may leave the rest of the parameters unchanged or set them according to your needs.

  7. Click OK.

Your database is now created. You can now attach forests to the database. Creating a database is a “hot” admin task.
