Create a user database using the SAP Control Center Administration
Console.
Prerequisites
Consider these database attributes:
Size:
sp_estspace helps you estimate table
and index space requirements based on the definition of a specific
table.
Space for planned views, stored procedures, defaults,
rules, and triggers.
Size of the transaction log.
Space for anticipated expansion.
Database device location, and whether there is enough space on that device.
Transaction log location – SAP recommends that you store the transaction log on
a different device than the data.
Task
In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand ASE Servers > Schema Objects > Databases.
Click User Databases.
Click the drop-down arrow and select New.
On the Introduction screen, select the server in which to create a database.
On the Database screen, enter the name of the database you want to create.
(Optional) On the Devices screen, enter the size of the new database. If you do not enter a size, the default size allocated is 3MB. You can specify separately the amount of space to allocate to the log and data segments.
(Optional) On the Options screen, select:
(Not
recommended) With override to store
the log and data on the same logical device.
For load to use the database for loading a
database dump.
If you created a database encryption key, you can select Encrypt this
database, then specify the name of the database encryption key.
(Optional) On the Durability Level screen,
choose one of these levels to improve server performance by reducing the
recoverability in case of a system failure:
NO_RECOVERY – there is no guarantee that, at runtime, committed transactions are written to the disk.
AT_SHUTDOWN – all committed transactions are written to disk during a normal server shutdown.
FULL – a complete recovery of committed
transactions is possible after a system failure.
Note: These options apply only to nonclustered version 15.5
and later.
(Optional) On the Data Compression screen, select:
Data compression for the entire database –
either page-level or row-level compression. If you choose neither option,
then data is not compressed.
LOB compression – from
levels 0 – 9, 100, or 101.
In-row LOB length –
the length of the LOB column to be saved in-row. To disallow in-row LOB
storage in the database, set the length to 0.
Note: These options apply only to nonclustered version 15.7
and later.
(Optional) Use the Guest User screen, to
create a guest user who can access the database with limited privileges.
(Optional) Click Summary to view your selected options.
