How to use the AmtCreate and DBCreate programs

[Belinda Frick]

AmtCreate
This program is a frontend program for DBCreate. It will create the INI
file that is required to use DBCreate. It can also be used to run DBCreate
to create a new database.


Run AmtCreate.
Enter the filename will be used as the database name. [default: amt.fdb]
Select how many files you want your database to have. We now only use 1,
since Firebird can create files larger than 4 Gig (0 will use most of
the available disk space.) [Default: 1]
Enter the name of the metafile. (The file that contains the database structure
information) [default: amt.sql]
Enter locations where you want your database files should be created. (This program will
try and create enough files in each location to fill most of that partition.
So ensure that all the locations that are specified, are on different partitions)
Click on the "Check space" button. The program will report on how many files
will be created in each location.
Click on the "Create Database" button to create the database and all the
additional files. ( This will also save the INI file)


The DBCreate program will be called from within the AMTCreate program.
Other programs will also call DBCreate. As long as the DBCreate.ini file exists
in the same folder it will create the database.
