Creating and deleting a database

Use one of the following methods to create a database. The New method does not create a database.

• Create creates an uninitialized database. A script can access it, but a user cannot access it from the Notes® workspace because it has no forms or views.
• CreateFromTemplate creates an initialized database based on an existing database (whether the database is a template or not). The new database has the design and documents of the template and can be accessed from the Notes workspace.
• CreateReplica creates an uninitialized replica of an existing database. The replica must be initialized either by you with the Replicate method or by the user accessing it from the Notes workspace upon first use.
• CreateCopy creates a copy of the design of an existing database.

Use one of the following methods to delete a database:

• Remove immediately deletes a database.
• MarkForDelete marks a database for deletion from a server on a cluster.
