Question Prostrct Create Vs Prostrct Builddb

[catch.saravana]

Hi All,
I see scripts using prostrct builddb on 9.1E machine. I assume it's used when the area or schema gets corrupted. But at the first time when am trying to create a new DB and create a structure to it, I guess I have to use prostrct create. Is my understanding right? Or can I do the same using prostrct builddb?

Regards,

In order to create a database with a structure description file you need to use prostrct create.

prostrct builddb gives you the possibility to recover from a lost control area ( the file with the .db extension ) when you have a valid structure description file. It will just re-create the control area and nothing else.
