  2. Allocating system storage and planning future storage requirements for the database.
  3. Creating primary database storage structures (tablespaces) once developers have designed an application.
  4. Creating primary database objects (tables, views, indexes) once application developers have designed an application.
  5. Modifying the database structure, as necessary, from information given by application developers.
  6. Enrolling users and maintaining system security.
