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 (foo is the name of the database):
$ eyedbadmin database create foo
Similarly, deleting a database is performed using the eyedbadmin tool, as in:
$ eyedbadmin database delete foo
where foo is the name of the database.
Checking available databases is done through:
$ eyedbadmin database list --dname
(run without –dname for more details)
