Step 2: Create the Example Database

After you set up the example environment, you can create the example database with Vertica Administration Tools. You can also choose to use the Management Console.

Notes

• If you have not used Administration Tools before, see the Administration Tools Keystrokes for a quick reference. If you are using a remote terminal application, such as PuTTY or a Cygwin bash shell, see Notes for Remote Terminal Users.
• If you want to use Management Console, the console should already be installed and you should be familiar with its concepts and layout. See Management Console in Vertica Concepts and Installing and Configuring Management Console in Installing Vertica.

After you create the sample database, define the database schema.
