With the IBM^® Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio, you can create an IBM database in which you can then define routines and database objects.

Requirement: To create a database, you must have SYSADM or SYSCTRL authority.

To create an IBM database:

1. In the Server Explorer, right-click the Data Connections node, and then select Create New IBM Database on the shortcut menu.

   The Create Database window opens.

2. Type the name of the server on which you want to create the database.
3. Type your user name and password.
4. Type the name of the database that you want to create.
5. Click OK.

   The IBM Output Message Pane displays the following message:

      Creating database <database_name>.

   The creation process might take a few minutes.

After you see the following message in the IBM Output Message Pane, you can add a connection to the database that you just created.

   Database <database_name> created successfully.
