# DefaultDatabase

The default database that the Content component 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, Content does not index the document.

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

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