Create a new database

To dialog with your Odoo server, you need an instance of the odoorpc.ODOO class. Let’s instanciate it:

>>> import odoorpc
>>> odoo = odoorpc.ODOO('localhost', 'jsonrpc', 8069)

Two protocols are available: jsonrpc and jsonrpc+ssl. Then, create your database for the purposes of this tutorial (you need to know the super admin password to do this):

>>> odoo.db.create('super_password', 'tutorial', demo=True, lang='fr_FR', admin_password='password')

The creation process may take some time on the server. If you get a timeout error, set a higher timeout before repeating the process:

>>> odoo.config['timeout'] = 300    # Set the timeout to 300 seconds
>>> odoo.db.create('super_password', 'tutorial', demo=True, lang='fr_FR', admin_password='password')

To check available databases, use the odoo.db property with the list method:

>>> odoo.db.list()
['tutorial']

You are now ready to login to your database!

Documentation about databases management is available here.
