ProcedureCreating the Demo Database Instance DEMODB Show topic URL in address bar

 

A demo database instance was developed for demonstration purposes. This demo database instance, with the name DEMODB, is the basis for the examples in the MaxDB documentation.

If you want to use the demo database instance, you must first create it and fill it with demo data. Use the Installation Manager to do this.

Note Note

Some demo database instance parameters have been created specially for testing purposes. We therefore do not recommend using this demo database instance in a production system.

End of the note.

Procedure

  1. Call the Installation Manager (see: Calling the Installation Manager).

  2. Choose the Start Installation/Upgrade option.

  3. On the Select Component Group to be Installed screen, choose Server + Client.

  4. On the Choose Installation Type screen, choose Install Software and Create Database.

  5. On the Select Database Configuration screen, choose Desktop PC/Laptop.

  6. On the Database Configuration screen, you can choose whether you want to load the demo data.

    • If you want to load the demo data, leave the Load Tutorial Data option selected.

      You need the demo data for working with the Database Manager CLI Tutorial and Loader-Tutorial, for example.

    • If you do not want to load the demo data, remove the selection of Load Tutorial Data. In this way you have the possibility of later adding the demo data manually to the database instance, as described in the SQL Tutorial.

    • Enter DBADMIN as User name and SECRET as User password. Enter these values again in the Confirm password field.

    • Enter DEMODB as Database name.

  7. Confirm all default values of the Installation Manager in succession to create the database instance.

Result

You now have a complete database instance with which you can work through tests in the documentation:

  • Name of the client database instance: DEMODB

  • Name of the database system administrator: DBADMIN/SECRET

  • Name/password of a database user: MONA/RED

  • Schema: HOTEL

For further demo data, see Objects in the Schema HOTEL
