Administrator's Guide¶

The "Administrator's Guide" provides the database administrators (DBA) with details on how to operate the CUBRID system. The guide includes instructions on the following: database management tasks (creating and deleting databases, adding volume, etc.), migration tasks (moving database to a different location or making changes so that it fits the system's version), and making back-ups and rollbacks of the database in case of failures.

It also includes instructions on how to use the cubrid utility, which starts and stops various processes of the CUBRID server, the broker and manager server.

This chapter contains the following:

• cubrid utility
• How to control the CUBRID (service, database server, broker, manager server)
• How to use the database administrative utilities
• Database migration
• Database backup and restore
• System configuration
