# DefaultDatabase

The default database that IDOL Server must index into if a document does not have an explicit database, or if the database specified in the document does not exist. If the database specified in the document is read-only, IDOL Server does not index the document.

If you specify an explicit database in the index action, IDOL Server does not use the default database, even if the explicit database does not exist.

The default database must be one of the configured databases. IDOL Server does not create the default database if it does not exist.
