Question: Do I need to create an empty database prior to caArray or other LSD tool installations?

Topic: caArray Installation and Upgrade

Release: Up to caArray 2.X

Date entered: 01/09/2009

Answer

It depends. The LSD installation guide (pages 8 and 9) recommends setting up an empty database prior to any LSD tool installation, except for those tools that do not require a database (see table below).

caArray, however, has a different database requirement based on the caArray version being installed.

caArray Release 2.1.1 and above

An empty database has to be created before commencing the caArray Installation.

Step 1: Login as an admin user (the root user or a user with administrative privileges). Create the caArray database via SQL commands as below:
