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 database environment is initialized with the dbvolcreate command.

The dbvolextend statement is used to extend the database environment with additional volume files. The most common usage of dbvolextend is to create the mandantory log volume for the database environment.
