create [dbdir]

Creates the databases in the specified database directory. If a database directory is not specified, the current directory is used. If a database does not exist when the server is started, Calendar Server creates one automatically. 

delete [dbdir]

Deletes the databases in the specified database directory. If a database directory is not specified, the current directory is used. A database cannot be deleted while it is open (when Calendar Server is running). 

list [dbdir]

Lists information about the databases in the specified database directory. If a database directory is not specified, the current directory is used. 

recover [dbdir]

Attempts to recover damaged calendar databases in the specified database directory. If a database directory is not specified, the current directory is used. Is not implemented for session or statistics databases. 

check [dbdir]

Scans a calendar database in the specified database directory to determine if any corruption has occurred and reports the results in its output. If a database directory is not specified, the current directory is used. 

rebuild [dbdir [dstdir]]

Scans all calendar databases in the specified database directory to determine if any corruption has occurred and generates a rebuilt calendar database (.db files). If a database directory is not specified, the current directory is used. After the databases are rebuilt, db_verify runs.

The dstdir specifies an optional destination directory.

version

Displays the version of the utility. 

-a

For rebuild command only, rebuilds only the alarms database.

-V

Must be passed in with -a for rebuilding the alarms database. Causes verify to be run against all databases, including alarms.

-v

Run in verbose mode: Display all available information about the command being performed. Default is off. 

-q

Run in quiet mode: 

• Display no information if the operation is successful (errors, if they occur, are displayed).

• Suppress confirmation prompting for dangerous commands.

  Default is off.

-f

Force the recovery of the calendar database. 

-g

For the rebuild command, rebuild the group scheduling engine (GSE) database in addition to the other calendar databases.

-t caldb|sessdb|statdb

Specifies the target database group: 

• caldb (calendar)

• sessdb (session)

• statdb (statistics)

  Note: If -t is not specified, csdb operates on all database groups, except for the check, recover and rebuild commands, which operate only on caldb (calendar).
