5 Database Utilities
The dbvolcreate utility
Introduction
The Eloquence databases are stored in a database environment. This environment consists of database volume files and a server configuration. This database environment must be created before the Eloquence database server can be started.
The dbvolcreate statement creates the main database volume and initializes the system catalog.
