Framework for shared physical models in a multi-database installation

摘要

The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for generating parameterized installation scripts to accommodate the installation of multiple databases sharing similar physical constructs. The method of the invention can include the step of creating a database which can achieve the foregoing stated advantages of the present invention, a parameterized description of a physical data model can be first combined with a set of database specific properties to produce a physical database. A parameterized description of a logical data model can be second combined with the set of database specific properties to generate a logical model for the physical database. The first combining step can include the step of creating at least one bufferpool in the physical database as specified by the properties. Also, the first combining step can include the step of creating at least one tablespace in the physical database as specified by the properties.
