Creating and Updating Databases
The SDB Creator tool operates in SQLite, DBMS and CED modes to create or
update database files. The following is the command to create or update a
database using the SDB Creator tool:
> sdb -m <mode-value> -i <input-database-filename> -c
<configuration-file> [input file] -o
<output-database-filename>
For information about the various options in the preceding command, see
SDB Creator Tool Syntax
.
For SQLite and DBMS databases, the SDB tool creates a database file with
the default name
sdb.db
at the default location. You can modify the default
values in the
sdb.properties
file. For more information, see
Configuring the SDB Creator Tool
.
If the database with the same name already exists at that location, a
number is appended to the default filename to ensure uniqueness.
The default database name for Comms database is
cccccc00.cre
. If an error occurs and the SDB tool still
creates the database, it names the database as
cccccc00-err.cre
.
If the
.cre
database with the same name already exists at that
location, the SDB tool overwrites the existing database.
