Database creation

Use the technique outlined in Installation and Initial Setup to create a new database, openerp_ch02 . This database will contain the demonstration data provided with Open ERP and a large proportion of the core Open ERP functionality. You’ll need to know your super administrator password for this – or you’ll have to find somebody who does have it to create this seed database.

Start the database creation process from the Welcome page by clicking Databases and then completing the following fields on the Create new database form:

• Super admin password : by default it’s admin , if you or your system administrator haven’t changed it,
• New database name : openerp_ch02 ,
• Load Demonstration data checkbox: checked ,
• Default Language : English ,
• Administrator password : admin (because it’s easiest to remember at this stage, but obviously completely insecure),
• Confirm password : admin .
