# Create a New Database in the IDOL Servers

The `DRECREATEDBASE` index action allows the DIH to create a new database in each of its IDOL Servers. For example, you can create a database to store documents that relate to one particular subject, or to store documents that are relevant to a particular user group. Use the following action syntax:

    http://DIHhost:IndexPort/DRECREATEDBASE?DREDbName=DatabaseName

When you send this action to the DIH instead of to an IDOL Server, note:

- `DIHhost` is the IP address (or name) of the machine on which the DIH is installed, `IndexPort` is the number of the port that you use to send index actions to the DIH, and `DatabaseName` is the name of the database to create.
- This action creates a database with the specified name in each of the child IDOL Servers. Using this action might make the most sense in situations where all the child IDOL Servers are identical.
