This chapter is a tutorial on setting up your own database using ISQL, the interactive component of ALLBASE/SQL. The tutorial takes you through the steps you need to follow in creating any ALLBASE/SQL database, large or small.
Here are the steps:
Creating a DBEnvironment.
Creating DBEFiles for table and index data.
Adding DBEFiles to DBEFileSets.
Entering data into tables.
Examining the system catalog.
The example chosen to illustrate these steps is a database of information about record albums. This database uses the tables described in chapter 2,
"Looking at Data." Follow the steps yourself on a system in an empty group (MPE/iX) or directory (HP-UX).
