Create new database database

ODABA differs between dictionary database and object database. The dictionary or resource database contains the development resources as schema definitions or function implementations. This allows creating any number of databases running with the same dictionary.

Both, resource and object database are ODABA databases, which might be accessed using different ODABA access methods. The only difference is that the dictionary for the resource database is the ode.sys system database provided in the installation.

Any sort of database can simply be created by providing a file path to a location, where the application has write access rights. Thus, creating a database is not an explicit step but happens automatically when referring to a database, which does not yet exists.
