SQL Create DataBase


The CREATE DATABASE Statement is used to create a database. After creating a
database, we can create several other database objects (tables, views, procedures
etc.) into it. The user should have admin privileges for creating database.:

SQL CREATE DATABASE Statement:


CREATE DATABASE database_name

[COLLATE collation_name ]

In the above query,


- database_name - is the name of the database to be created
- collation_name - is the default collation (character set) for the database.
This, collation_name, is an optional field and if not provided then Default
Collation is assigned to database.

CREATE DATABASE Example:


 If you want to create database MyDatabase with default collation, the statement
would be like
CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase ;
 If you want to create database MyOtherDatabase with collation “Latin General”
then statement would be like
CREATE DATABASE MyOtherDatabase

COLLATE Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS;
