You can work with multiple databases. You have a system database (often referred to as SYSBAS) and the ability to work with one or more user databases. User databases are implemented on the system through the use of independent disk pools, which are set up in the Disk Management function of System i Navigator. Once an independent disk pool is set up, it appears as another database under the Databases function of System i Navigator.
When you expand a system in System i Navigator and then expand Databases, a list of databases appears that you can work with. To establish a connection to a database, simply expand the database that you want to work with.
