Creating a Database
To get started using Vertica immediately after installation, create a database. You can use either the Administration Tools or the Management Console.
Creating a Database Using the Administration Tools
Follow these step to create a database using the Administration Tools.
- Log in as the database administrator, and type
admintools
to bring up the Administration Tools. - When the EULA (end-user license agreement) window opens, type
accept
to proceed. A window displays, requesting the location of the license key file you downloaded from the OpenText Web site. The default path is/tmp/vlicense.dat
. - If you are using the Vertica Community Edition, click OK without entering a license key.
- If you are using the Vertica Premium Edition, type the absolute path to your license key (for example,
/tmp/vlicense.dat
) and click OK. - From the Administration Tools Main Menu, click Configuration Menu, and then click OK.
- Click Create Database, and click OK to start the database creation wizard.
