Graph Database Server Commands and Controls

To run the Graph Database server you, must run the executable named tgdb. This executable is placed within the bin folder.

Note: A single server instance starts a single database.

The command to run tgdb is: tgdb [cmd] [options] -c|--config <config filename>

Commands can be any one of the following:

Command Format	Description
`-i, --initdb`	Initialize a Database. When running this, specify initdb.conf as the config file. For example: `tgdb -i -c <initdb configuration file>`
`-s, --server`	Start a Database. When running this, specify `tgdb.conf` as the config file. For example: `tgdb -s -c <tgdb configuration file>`

Options can be any one of the following:

Options Format	Description
`-f, --force`	Force creation. This deletes all the data in the directory specified by the conf file. The option can only be used with the `-i` option. It is valid only for the `initdb` command. For example: `tgdb -f -i -c <initdb.conf>`
