Creating a New Database
You'll want to create a new database as the first step in
creating a new league using teams, parks, eras and players that you
create or import from different databases. For details on setting
up a league from scratch, see the tutorial for Setting Up a League.
A newly-created database is empty except for the Neutral Era and
the Neutral Park. You can then use the Organizer window to create
new items, import them from other databases, and organize them as
you wish.
NOTE: You do not
need to create a new database to use Diamond Mind Season Disks in
the form they are shipped. The act of installing a Season Disk
automatically creates a new database.
To create a new database:
1. Click File on the DMB menu bar and
select Create new empty
database. The following window
appears:
NOTE: The default location for the
new database is the folder where you installed Diamond Mind
Baseball. If you would like to create your new database at another
location, click on the ellipsis (...) button to open the following
screen.
2. When you have selected the location for your database, enter
a name for the new database in the
database creation window and click OK.
When the database is created, you will
be notified. When this operation is complete, the newly-created
database is the active database, and you can open the Organizer window to begin
creating or importing items to populate this new database.
