Creating a database for imported data

Before importing data into a HCL Compass database, you must create a user database to hold the imported data and associate this database with the import schema.

Use the use the HCL Compass Web client Database Admin view in the Designer to create a new user database.

You can also use an existing user database that is associated with the schema that you are using as the import schema. Upgrade the user database with the newer import version of the schema. Remember, however, that you can upgrade a user database only with a newer version of the same schema, not with a different schema. For more information, see Understanding the functions of the HCL Compass schema developer.

To prevent data corruption, the vendor database of the import user database must use a character set that is equivalent to the data code page value of the database set. For more information, see Setting Data Code Page Value.
