The APE Database Setup Wizard is the fastest way to create a new SQL Server database. The wizard consists of five main steps.
The wizard creates and installs the new APETEST database with one public user (the database owner) and the three APE test tables (Account, OrderDetails, and Products).
Note The APE Database Setup Wizard does not handle error conditions. Any database setup errors will be displayed using ODBC syntax.
The wizard includes a standard set of buttons along the bottom. These buttons control the following actions.
Button | Description |
Help | Displays online Help for the Project Wizard. |
< Back | Moves back one step in the process. |
Next > | Moves forward one step in the process. |
Finish | Creates all items and closes the wizard. |
Cancel | Closes the wizard; no database is created. |
