Creating a Database

Follow these steps to create a database:

  1. Choose Database Create. Progress displays the Create Database dialog box:
  2. Enter the name of the new database.
  3. Specify whether you want to create an empty database, a copy of the sports database, or a copy of an existing Progress database.
  4. Specify whether you want to overwrite any existing database with the same name, then choose OK.
  5. If you do not choose the Replace If Exists button, and a database already exists with the same name, Progress prompts you to verify that you want to overwrite it.

    If no database with that name exists, Progress creates the database, or if one does and you chose the Replace If Exists button, Progress overwrites the existing database and the Database Connect dialog box appears. Define the database attributes, then choose OK. See Chapter 8, “Database Menu Reference,” for a complete description of the database attributes you can specify in the Database Connect dialog box.

    If more than one database is connected, the Select Working Database dialog box appears. After you select a working database, Progress returns you to the Data Dictionary window.
