Designing databasesThe first step in creating a relational database is to construct a data model, which is a precise, complete definition of the data you want to store. After you prepare your data model, you must implement it as a database and tables. To implement your data model, you first select a data type for each column and then you create a database and tables and populate the tables with data. You can also implement fragmentation strategies and control access to your data.
Designing and Implementing a DatabaseThe HCL OneDB™ Database Design and Implementation Guide provides information to help you design, implement, and manage your HCL® OneDB® databases. It includes data models that illustrate different approaches to database design and shows you how to use structured query language (SQL) to implement and manage your databases.

Select a dbspace

The database server lets you create the database in a particular dbspace. A dbspace is a named area of disk storage. Ask your database server administrator whether you should use a particular dbspace. You can put a database in a separate dbspace to isolate it from other databases or to locate it on a particular disk device. For information about dbspaces and their relationship to disk devices, see your HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Guide.

Some dbspaces are mirrored (duplicated on two disk devices for high reliability). You might put your database in a mirrored dbspace if its contents are of exceptional importance.
