The DEFINE RMS_DATABASE command creates a logical RMS database element in a CDO repository. A logical RMS database consists of only one record and file definition. However, one logical RMS database definition can be owned by many physical RMS databases, where each physical RMS database owns a different CDD$FILE element. To create a physical RMS database on a disk with the characteristics specified by the DEFINE RMS_DATABASE command, issue the DEFINE DATABASE command. To create a valid logical RMS database element, you must specify at least one record element and a file definition property with a SEQUENTIAL file organization option.
