Creating the DB2 Database

This section assists you in creating the database.

You can use either the DB2 CLP or the DB2 Control Center to create the database in DB2. Steps for both methods are provided in this topic.

The CREATE DATABASE command creates the database. By default, this command creates three Automatic Storage table spaces named SYSCATSPACE, TEMPSPACE1, and USERSPACE1. The command also creates necessary catalog entries.

When you create the database, use these settings:

Code page	1252
Code set	IBM-1252
Sort order	Binary (identity)

Important: Perform only one of the following procedures to create the database collection: To create the database using the CLP, or To create the database using the Create Database Wizard. Do not use both procedures.
