Fabian has been extremely helpful to us with similar issues, read through the thread called "Running multiple mserver5 processes, Merovingian", you will find examples Fabian has provided.

Hi

In MonetDB I want to create my own database "test"

In one console I turned the mserver5 on by

$mserver5 --dbinit="include sql;" # MonetDB server v5.2.0, based on kernel v1.20.0 # Serving database 'demo' # Compiled for x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/64bit with 64bit OIDs dynamically linked # Copyright (c) 1993-2007 CWI, all rights reserved # Visit http://monetdb.cwi.nl/ for further information # Listening for connection requests on mapi:monetdb://127.0.0.1:50000/ # MonetDB/SQL module v2.20.0 loaded

In another concole, I issued the following command

$monetdb create test

The following message appears: Warning: MonetDB database server is not running successfully created database 'test'

$monetdb status test monetdb status test name state uptime crashes test stopped 0

And

$monetdb start test start: cannot perform: MonetDB Server (merovingian) is not running

mserver5 is already running, how to run merovingian?

I tried at the prompt $merovingian $

nothing happens

Could any one help me to create my own database rather than the default one 'demo'.
