CreateMap

Purpose

Determines whether the driver creates the internal files required for a relational view of the native data when establishing a connection.

Valid Values

forceNew | no | notExist

Behavior

If set to forceNew, the driver deletes the group of internal files specified by SchemaMap and creates a new group of these files at the same location.
If set to no, the driver uses the current group of internal files specified by SchemaMap. If the files do not exist, the connection fails.
If set to notExist, the driver uses the current group of internal files specified by SchemaMap. If the files do not exist, the driver creates them.

Notes

*The internal files share the same directory as the schema map's configuration file. This directory is specified with the SchemaMap connection property.
*You can refresh the internal files related to an existing relational view of your data with the SQL extension Refresh Map. Refresh Map runs a discovery against your native data and updates your internal files accordingly.
*CreateMap was formerly CreateDB.
