The following steps will guide you through creating the Tutorial database using the ElevateDB Manager.

1. Start the ElevateDB Manager (edbmgr.exe) by clicking on the ElevateDB Manager link in the Start menu.




2. Make sure that the session is using the desired character set and configuration file folder (C:\Tutorial).

a. Select the Default session from the list of available sessions.



b. In the Tasks pane, click on the Edit Session link.



c. On the General page of the Edit Session dialog, make sure that the Character Set is set to the desired value - either ANSI or Unicode.




d. On the Local page of the Edit Session dialog, make sure that the Configuration File - File Folder is set to the desired folder.



e. Click on the OK button.

3. Double-click on the Default session in the Properties window in order to connect the session.



4. Click on the New button on the main toolbar.



5. Paste in the following CREATE DATABASE SQL statement in the new SQL window:

CREATE DATABASE "Tutorial"
PATH 'C:\Tutorial\DB'
DESCRIPTION 'Tutorial Database'

6. Press the F9 key to execute the SQL statement.



7. Press the F5 key to refresh the explorer contents for the session.

8. Click on the + sign next to the Databases node in the treeview.



9. Click on the new Tutorial database that you just created.



10. Press the F6 key to make the Properties window the active window, and then click on the Open Database link in the Tasks pane.



11. Click on the New.SQL tab to bring forward the SQL window.

12. Paste in the following CREATE TABLE SQL statement. If you are using a Unicode session (see Step 2 above), then you should use the Unicode version of the CREATE TABLE statement. If you are using an ANSI session, then you should use the ANSI version of the CREATE TABLE statement:

ANSI

CREATE TABLE "Customer"
(
"ID" INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 0, INCREMENT BY 1),
"Name" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "ANSI_CI" NOT NULL,
"Address1" VARCHAR(40) COLLATE "ANSI_CI",
"Address2" VARCHAR(40) COLLATE "ANSI_CI",
"City" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "ANSI_CI",
"State" CHAR(2) COLLATE "ANSI_CI",
"Zip" CHAR(10) COLLATE "ANSI_CI",
"CreatedOn" TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
CONSTRAINT "ID_PrimaryKey" PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
)

Unicode

CREATE TABLE "Customer"
(
"ID" INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 0, INCREMENT BY 1),
"Name" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "UNI_CI" NOT NULL,
"Address1" VARCHAR(40) COLLATE "UNI_CI",
"Address2" VARCHAR(40) COLLATE "UNI_CI",
"City" VARCHAR(30) COLLATE "UNI_CI",
"State" CHAR(2) COLLATE "UNI_CI",
"Zip" CHAR(10) COLLATE "UNI_CI",
"CreatedOn" TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
CONSTRAINT "ID_PrimaryKey" PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
)

13. Press the F9 key to execute the SQL statement.



14. Press the F5 key to refresh the explorer contents for the session.

15. The table should now show up in the list of tables for the Tutorial
database.



16. Click on the New.SQL tab to bring forward the SQL window.

17. Paste in the following INSERT SQL statement:

INSERT INTO "Customer" VALUES
(NULL,
'Elevate Software, Inc.',
'168 Christiana Street',
'',
'North Tonawanda',
'NY',
'14120',
NULL)

18. Press the F9 key to execute the SQL statement.



19. Click on the Customer table that you just created.



20. Press the F6 key to make the Properties window the active window, and then click on the Open Table link in the Tasks pane.



21. You will now see the row that you just inserted.



You have now successfully created the Tutorial database.
