Notes about Databases

Please keep in mind that each database contains its own system collections,which need to be set up when a database is created. This will make the creationof a database take a while.

Replication is either configured on aper-database levelor on server level.In a per-database setup, any replication logging or applying for a new databasemust be configured explicitly after a new database has been created, whereas alldatabases are automatically replicated in case of the server-level setup using the global replication applier.

Foxx applicationsare also available only in the context of the database they have been installed in. A new database will only provide access to the system applications shippedwith ArangoDB (that is the web interface at the moment) and no other Foxxapplications until they are explicitly installed for the particular database.
