-Hi, - -I don't know much about SAPDB. I just installed the sapdb server 7.4 and I need -to create some database instances. The SAPDB installation manual didn't cover -how to do that and I don't see any scripts from the installation dir that let -you create a database besides the SDBINST script.
Hi, There is a script that will create a test database. You could modify this script to change the parameters. Alternatively, you could use the DBMGUI program to create a new database manually. One pitfall to watch out for is that you can't make very small databases (like 1mb or something), because the system tables require space. Unfortunately, the DBMGUI doesn't prevent you from trying to do this. -Then I was looking at the SAP DB Loader: SAP DB 7.4 manual, but the commands are -a bit over my head - the doc provides you with a command to extract the DB -<dbextract_statement>::=DBEXTRACT ..., but where do you run that command ? The -command looks like SQL. What tool I need to run first before I execute the -command? Loader is actually used to load data into (or save data out of) an existing table in an existing database using an existing login account. You can easil create a .BAT file (or shell script) that will call the DB Loader and pass it a DB-Loader script file. The script file will contain the DBEXTRACT (or whatever) statement. The DB-Loader can be used to do other things like run arbitrary SQL code also. -I don't need to do any real work inside the database, just to bring it up and -down. Is there any other way to create some database instances like when you -install R/3, the oracle database is automatically install and populated for you, -or other docs that I should be reading? Again you should look at the test database. You can find this on the web page at http://www.sapdb.org. -Thanks for any pointers in advance! --serine thanks, noah silva _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
