Creating the MS SQL Server Database

To help you create your database instance, Siebel Systems provides a list of supported MS SQL Server code pages in System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.

Use a small, nonproduction environment for testing purposes.

After you install the Siebel Database Server files on the Siebel Server machine (described in Installing the Siebel Database Server), you may modify the database table and index creation scripts to specify the filegroup names you created for Siebel tables and indexes. For more information, see Overriding Default Storage Parameters.

Guidelines for Allocating MS SQL Server Database Log Space

You must place your log on a disk large enough to hold the log as it expands. Monitor the disk regularly for its level of utilization. Very large transactions may, for example, require at least 1 GB.
