Using a Script File 
You create and save a script file containing all DBM commands you want to execute.
You then call Database Manager, specifying this script file.
Scenario
You want to create a new database using a script file.
The new database is to have the name DEMODB and be created on the local computer.
You define the first DBM operator with the name DBM and password DBM, as well as the database system administrator DBADMIN with password SECRET.
You want to change the values for the database parameters SessionTimeout, CacheMemorySize, UseExtendedOracleSQLMode, MaxDataVolumes, and MaxUserTasks.
You want to create a data volume named DISKD0001 of type File with 32768 pages and a log volume named DISKL0001 of type File with 6400 pages.
You also want the system to
Automatically update the statistics of the database
Automatically expand the data area when the fill level reaches 90% (default value)
Load the system tables
Load the demo data
Switch on overwrite mode for the log area
Procedure
Create the script file demoscript.txt and save it here:
C:\test\DBM
Copy the following template to the script file and save your entries:
db_create DEMODB DBM,DBM
param_startsession
param_init OLTP
param_put SessionTimeout 0
param_put CacheMemorySize 1000
param_put MaxDataVolumes 64
param_put MaxUserTasks 10
param_checkall
param_commitsession
param_addvolume 1 DATA DISKD0001 F 32768
param_addvolume 1 LOG DISKL0001 F 6400
db_admin
db_activate DBADMIN,SECRET
load_systab
auto_update_statistics ON
auto_extend ON
load_tutorial
db_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE ON
Call Database Manager CLI with the option for executing the script file:
>dbmcli -i "C:\test\DBM\demoscript.txt"
>db_create DEMODB DBM,DBM
