Createdb Command
You can use the createdb command to create a distributed database as you would a local database, except that you must add /star to the distributed database name.
The createdb command does the following:
Creates an Ingres database and identifies it as the coordinator database (see Ingres Star Components (see page Ingres Star Components).
Builds and populates Ingres Star-specific catalogs in the coordinator database just created
Generates iidbdb entries to describe the distributed database and the coordinator database and to associate the two
For flags and full syntax details of the createdb command, see the Command Reference Guide.
