Managing Databases - Overview

In BBj, a database is comprised of a single data dictionary and the corresponding data files defining the tables in the data dictionary. Each database is given a different name or "alias" by the administrator, which is used to refer to that database. Only those databases that a user has been granted administrative access to can be accessed by that user when using the Enterprise Manager.

The Enterprise Manager provides an interface for:

Configuring databases
Creating and modifying database structure and content
Executing SQL queries
Viewing statistical data for analysis

The following list provides entry points into each of the major components of the database management functionality in the Enterprise Manager:

Configuration

Tables
Views
Procedures
Type Definitions
Sequences
Permissions
Roles
