Thanks to everyone who has contributed • The database file(s) are created; • The header page is formatted and written; • The various system tables — RDB$ and MON$ — and associated indices are created, and appropriate pages formatted and default. This action creates a database file, or files, with enough space allocated to create all the system tables and indices. New pages will be added to the end of the database file(s) as and when the user
