## Name your KVStore

When you start the command line interface, the `kv->` prompt appears. Once you see this, you can name your KVStore by using the `configure -name` command. The only information this command needs is the name of the KVStore that you want to configure.

Note that the name of your store is essentially used to form a path to records kept in the store. For this reason, you should avoid using characters in the store name that might interfere with its use within a file path. The command line interface does not allow an invalid store name. Valid characters are alphanumeric, '-', '_', and '.'.

For example:

    kv-> configure -name mystore
    Store configured: mystore
    kv->
