Create Database

Creates a new EDMdatabase. The command will fail if the actual EDMserver has another open database.
This command can optionally execute the Database>Open and Connection>OpenSession commands such that the new created database will be ready for data manipulation immediately after this command is executed.
The Database>Create command will define the two EDMuser accounts named superuser and sdai-user, and the EDMgroup account sdai-group. The users superuser and sdai-user are member of the group sdai-group. The superuser is the privileged user in the EDMserver. The sdai-user and the sdai-group is the default user and group account, i.e. when connecting to the EDMserver by the Connection>OpenSession command, the caller will be logged-in as the user sdai-user under the group-account sdai-group.
The superuser will automatically get the same password as the database password defined by this command. The superuser can change its password by executing the UserAdm>DefinePassword command. The password that protects the EDMdatabase cannot be changed.
Arguments:

Directory path:	Specify the path to the directory where the database is located. The <Directory path> must be specified as an absolute path. The <Directory path> argument can be specified with and without the directory delimiter character as the last character in the directory path. The directory delimiter character is '\' on the Windows platforms and '/' on the Unix platforms. When activating the Select button, a window is opened to allow browsing the directory structure and select/specify the desired directory.
Database:	Specify the name of the EDMdatabase. EDMdatabase names are case sensitive.
Password:	Specify password of the new database. The password that protects the database cannot be changed. This password will by default be the password of the EDMuser superuser.
Retype password:	Retype the password specified in <Password>. Because there is no echo on the <Password>, the <Retype password> argument is used to check that the user remember the <Password>. If <Password> is different from <Retype password> then the command will fail.

Options:

accumulating command output:	A global option that appends the command output to the EDMsupervisor output window. Otherwise the output window is refreshed and only the last command output is displayed.
open database:	The created database will be opened by invoking the Database>Open command.
open session:	An EDMserver session is opened by invoking the Connection>OpenSession command. The caller will be logged-in as user sdai-user with the group account sdai-group.
