Rational® ClearQuest® schema repositories and user databases must be physically managed by a database management system.
An empty database container must be created before creating a schema repository or user database. Administrators must create these empty databases with tools provided by the database vendor before using Rational ClearQuest. To configure vendor databases, see the IBM Rational ClearQuest and ClearQuest MultiSite Installation and Upgrade Guide.
However, for Microsoft Access, empty databases are created at the same time when new schema repositories and user databases are created.
