Creating a database

The next step is to create a database to perform our tests.

Before creating a database, you can check that you are authorized to perform this operation, using the eyedbadmin command, as in:

% eyedbadmin user list
name      : "francois" [strict unix user]
sysaccess : SUPERUSER_SYSACCESS_MODE

If you are running the eyedbadmin command under the same Unix user as the one used when installing EYEDB , the command output will be a message like the one above, showing that you have superuser priviledge and are thus allowed to create a database.

Creating a database is performed using the eyedbadmin tool, as in:

% eyedbadmin database create foo

where foo is the name of the database.

Similarly, deleting a database is performed using the eyedbadmin tool, as in:

% eyedbadmin database delete foo

where foo is the name of the database.
