Lesson 1: Set up the Adaptive Server Anywhere databases

This section describes how to create and set up the Adaptive Server Anywhere databases for replication.

You can create a database using Sybase Central or the dbinit utility. For this tutorial, we use the dbinit utility.

Create the primary site database

Enter the following command from the tutorial directory you created (for example c:\tutorial).
```
dbinit primedb
```
This creates a database file primedb.db in the current directory.

Create the replicate site database

Enter the following command from the tutorial directory you created (for example c:\tutorial).
```
dbinit repdb
```
This creates a database file repdb.db in the current directory.

Next, you have to start database servers running on these databases.
