Alternate Locations
You can use alternate locations for a new database, but first you must create the area (directory structure) where the files will be stored, and then define their location.
You create a location's area using the facilities of the host operating system.
Each area must have a specific subdirectory structure, depending on the file types with which it is associated. This structure parallels that of the corresponding default location area, as summarized in Default Locations.
