Creating a new empty OpenEdge database
The DataServer uses the empty OpenEdge database as a holder for the schema for
your MS SQL Server database. The simplest way to create an empty OpenEdge
database is to do it from the Data Administration, as described in this section. For
information on other ways to create an empty OpenEdge database, see OpenEdge
Data Management: Database Administration.
If you create a new OpenEdge application to be Unicode-enabled, ensure that you
create the database from a Unicode source. A copy of the empty OpenEdge UTF-8
database can be obtained from $DLC/prolang/utf/empty. If you choose UTF-8 as
your schema image code page, your schema holder’s code page must also be UTF-8.
