The initial installation adds a database called Sample that contains sample/training data that you can use to acquaint yourself with the operation of the program. At some point, you'll create one or more databases that you'll use to store and process your own data. Do the following to create a new database:
- Open Practice CS using the Sample database.

- In the window that opens, go toNew Nameand enter the name you want to assign to your new database.
