Creating an Empty Progress Database
The DataServer uses the empty database as a schema holder for your ORACLE data definitions. This section describes how to create a database with the Data Dictionary. See the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference for other techniques. Follow these steps to create and connect an empty Progress database on your client machine. This example uses Windows, but you can follow the same steps if you are using Progress with a character-based interface, since the screens prompt for the same information:
- Start Progress with no database connected and access the Data Dictionary. The Dictionary Startup dialog box appears.
- Select the Create a New Database option, then choose OK. The Create Database dialog box appears:
![]()
- Type the schema-holder name, for example oholder, in the New Physical Database Name field.
- Select An EMPTY Database.
- Choose OK. The Database Connect dialog box appears. By default, the name of the newly created database appears in the Physical Name field:
![]()
You do not have to provide any additional connection information. You can add connection parameters when you create the database or edit connection information later. See the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference for a complete description of the Database Connect dialog box.
- Choose OK to connect the empty Progress database and return to the Data Dictionary main window.
