Schema Compile (rdm-compile)

Now that you have your schema definition, you have a few options on how to create the database.

• Option 1) You can use rdm-create and pass in the name of your schema file you made above then use rdm-compile and pass in --c-structs and the name of your schema file you made above. For example:

  rdm-compile --c-structs bookStore.sdl
