The database server tracks newly created
databases in the database tblspace, which resides in the root dbspace.
An entry describing the database is added to the database tblspace
in the root dbspace. (See Structure of the Database Tblspace.)
For each system catalog table, the database server adds a one-page
entry to the tblspace tblspace in the dbspace where the database
was built. (See Structure of the Tblspace Tblspace.) New Databases illustrates the relationship
between the database tblspace entry and the location of the systables system
catalog table for the database. Figure 1: New Databases
For instructions on how to list your databases after you create
them, see monitoring databases in the chapter on managing database-logging
status in the Informix® Administrator's
Guide.
