Create a Database

You will already have created a database for your Community Edition installation which should be working successfully in the standard single-store mode.

It is only relevant to select engine mode (and associated shared quantities like products shared, customers shared etc) for the Enterprise Edition. These items aren't relevant for the Business Edition.

Note that when this section of the guide talks about a "database" what it means is a defined set of tables for a defined user and password. Different database suppliers implement this separation differently but so long as you set up your database so that your defined user can create and access his own tables, you can set up your database as you like. In some cases you may wish to load the KonaKart tables in an existing schema for ease of integration to other applications. So long as there are no database object (tables names etc) conflicts, this is fine.

Now you have to consider whether or not you need a new database for the Enterprise Extensions. The KonaKart Engine Mode you require will affect what databases you will have to create.
