# Configure Databases

IDOL server can store documents in different databases. You can configure up to 65534 databases in IDOL server.

Indexing data into different databases allows you to restrict queries to data in a particular database. This can improve the performance of your queries.

You can add IDOL server databases by editing the configuration file or by sending an index action. For details of adding a database by editing the configuration file, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide and the IDOL Server Reference.

To add IDOL server databases

- Send a `DRECREATEDBASE` action (case sensitive) from your Web browser:

      http://IDOLhost:indexPort/DRECREATEDBASE?DREdbname=databaseName

  where,

  `IDOLhost` | is the IP address or host name of the machine on which HPE IDOL is installed.
  `indexPort` | is the HPE IDOL index port (specified as `IndexPort` in the HPE IDOL configuration file `[Server]` section).
  `databaseName` | is the name of the database that you want to create.

For example:

    http://12.3.4.56:20001/DRECREATEDBASE?DREdbname=Archive

This action uses port 20001 to create a new database named `Archive` on the HPE IDOL machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`.

You can also add other index action parameters to this action, for example to make the new database internal. For details, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
