Database creation tasks are performed after the SymfoWARE/RDB system environment has been created and the
SymfoWARE/RDB system has been started. For information about creating the SymfoWARE/RDB system
environment and starting the SymfoWARE/RDB system, refer to the "RDB Operations Guide."

The required procedure for creating and operating a database is as follows.
Database creation and operation
1. Design the database.
2. Enter the database name.
3. Create the database space.
4. Define the logical structures such as schema and table:
When a logical structure is defined, a simple storage structure can be defined.
5. Define the storage structure (DSO and DSI for table and index).
To facilitate data retrieval and operation, the storage structure can be defined as follows:
- Divide a storage table to localize the retrieval range, thus improving retrieval.
- Divide a storage table to maintain and operate a database without having to stop regular operations
during backup and restore if a database failure occurs.
6. Define a temporary table.
7.
Define
privilege
information.
8.
Define
optimization
information.
9. Initialize the database (DSI). If the rdbsloader command was used to create the database, the DSI need not be
initialized.
10. To maintain database definition information, save the RDB dictionary data.
11. Generate the database by entering data from external data or an application program.
