============================
|
|
|
|
@GE{Database}: ArangoDB can handle multiple databases in the same server
|
|
instance. Databases can be used to logically group and separate data. An ArangoDB
|
|
database consists of collections and dedicated database-specific worker processes.
|
|
There will always be at least one database in ArangoDB. This is the default
|
|
database, named `_system`. This database cannot be dropped, and provides special
|
|
operations for creating, dropping, and enumerating databases.
|
|
Users can create additional databases and give them unique names to access them later.
|
|
Database management operations cannot be initiated from out of user-defined databases.
|
|
|
|
When ArangoDB is accessed via its HTTP REST API, the database name is read from the
|
|
request URI. If the request URI does not contain a database name, the database name
|
|
is automatically determined by some algorithm.
