3.6 Creating DB areas (initializing the database)
DB areas are created when you initialize the database.
A DB area is a logical area in which the tables and indexes are stored. DB areas are stored in the DB directory you create in 3.4 Creating the DB directory.
An initialization option file is required when creating a DB area. It specifies the type of DB area to be created. This subsection explains how to edit the initialization option file and how to create DB areas.
DB areas are created by the HADB administrator (adbmanager).
- Note
-
This section explains how to create DB areas by initializing the database. To initialize the database, you use the DB area creation command (adbinit command). Use this command when you first create DB areas after installing the HADB server.
You cannot use the DB area creation command (adbinit command) to add or modify DB areas after the database has been initialized. In this situation, you use the command for adding and changing DB areas (adbmodarea command). For details about the command for adding and changing DB areas (adbmodarea command), see adbmodarea (Add and Change DB Areas) in the manual HADB Command Reference.
