Create a test user database

In this exercise, you create a test user database based on the schema that you created in the Create a schema previous exercise. You will use the test user database in later exercises after you customize the schema. By using a test user database you can see how your schema modifications perform in the Rational® ClearQuest® client without affecting your production user database.

To create a test user database based on the my_sample_schema schema:

1. In the Designer, click Database > New Database.
2. In the New Database Wizard, enter test in the Logical Database Name field. Enter Sample test user database for tutorial in the Comment field. Click Next.
3. In Step 2 of the wizard, select MS_ACCESS from the Vendor list. Click ...

   In the Select Microsoft Access Database window, enter test.mdb in the File name field. Click Open. By default, Rational ClearQuest stores the physical database in the Rational ClearQuest installation directory. Select Test Database. Click Next.

4. In Step 3, accept the default values in the Timeout (240 minutes) and Poll Interval (1 minute) fields. Click Next.
5. In Step 4, select my_sample_schema from the table of schemas and click Finish. You see a message confirming that the user database is created. Click OK.
