You are the operating system user and are creating a new database instance.
The following prerequisites must be met on the server on which you want to create the database instance:
Communication |
Microsoft Windows |
UNIX |
local |
Operating system user has administration rights for database server * (Implicit logon to the operating system) |
Logon on to the operating system using option –s (local operation) |
remote |
Operating system user has administration rights for database server and the log on as batch job * right Log on to the operating system using db_create and option <os_user>,<password> |
Log on to the operating system using db_create and the option <os_user>,<password> |
If several versions of the database software are available on the database server, you must specify the path of the version to which this database instance is to be assigned when registering the database instance. To do this, use the option -R (installation directory of the database software) when calling the Database Manager CLI.
*(You can find information about maintaining operating system users in your operating system documentation.)
db_create [<option>] <database_name> <dbm_user>,<password> [<os_user>,<password>]
<database_name> |
Name of database instance, maximum length eight characters |
<dbm_user>,<password> |
This operator is stored on the database server when you start to create the database. Subsequent access to the database instance is possible only with this operator. |
[<os_user>,<password>] |
Operating system user If you want to create the database instance on a remote server, you must also specify the operating system user for this server. If the logon to the operating system fails, the database instance cannot be installed. |
Creating a local database instance on Microsoft
Windows:
db_create myDB1
samplename,secret
Creating a remote database instance on Microsoft
Windows:
db_create myDB2
samplename,secret winuser,win
From now on, to access this database instance you need the <dbm_user> and<password>specified at registration.
There is an OK message after the command has been executed successfully.
