Information 
Access a NonStop 
SQL/MP catalog using 
the NonStop ODBC 
Server
First, customize the catalog. SYSCAT INSTALL Statement
on page 7-18 and USERCAT 
INSTALL Statement on 
page 7-20
Create a database 
using the NonStop 
ODBC Server
Log on to the NonStop ODBC 
Server and execute the 
Transact-SQL statement CREATE 
DATABASE.
You do not need to perform any 
additional steps to customize the 
catalog, because when you 
execute CREATE DATABASE, the 
NonStop ODBC Server creates a 
NonStop SQL/MP catalog and all 
the necessary mapping tables, and 
completes the customizing 
automatically.
CORE SQL has no CREATE 
DATABASE statement; instead, 
(See Section 4, 
Transact-SQL Language, for 
information on creating 
databases)
USERCAT INSTALL 
Statement on page 7-20
Use pass-through 
mode to create a 
NonStop SQL/MP 
object in a customized 
catalog
When you create the object, it is 
not visible through the NonStop 
ODBC Server. To make the object 
visible, update the mapping tables 
after you create the object.
SYSCAT REFRESH 
Statement on page 7-27 and 
USERCAT REFRESH 
Statement on page 7-29 or 
ADD TABLE on page 7-105, 
ADD INDEX on page 7-50, or 
ADD VIEW
 on page 7-119
Use NonStop SQL/MP 
to create an object in 
a customized catalog
When you add the object, it is not 
visible through the NonStop ODBC 
Server, so you must first refresh or 
update the mapping tables.
SYSCAT REFRESH 
Statement on page 7-27 and 
USERCAT REFRESH 
Statement on page 7-29 or 
ADD TABLE on page 7-105, 
ADD INDEX on page 7-50, or 
ADD VIEW
 on page 7-119
Access an object 
using NonStop 
SQL/MP when the 
object was created 
using the NonStop 
ODBC Server
Determine the NonStop SQL/MP 
file name of the object by looking 
in the mapping tables.
