## -24953: ERR_DBEXIST - database instance already exists

### Explanation:

This DBM command cannot be used, as the database instance already exists.

### User Action:

Use a name that has not already been used for a database instance, or delete the existing database instance. Only delete a database instance if you no longer need it. When you delete a database instance, all of its data, including its configuration, is deleted. To delete the database instance, use the DBM command db_drop.
