When you install the identity applications, you can postpone connecting to the database or creating tables in the database. If you do not have permissions to the database, you might need to choose this option. The installation program creates a SQL file that you can use to create the database schema. You can also recreate the database tables after installation without having to reinstall. To do so, you delete the database for the identity applications and create a new database with the same name. For more information, see Manually Creating the Database Schema
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
