Opening or creating a database are two similar operations. In the File menu, select either File->Open or File->New.
A file selection dialog will pop up (see Figure 1-1) and let you select a file name or enter an URL. The type of the database can also be selected. In the case of a new database, it is mandatory to select a type, whereas while opening an existing database, the type can be guessed if you select - Auto -.
