SQL CREATE DATABASE Statement - 1Keydata SQL Tutorial

SQL CREATE DATABASE

SQL > Table Manipulation > Create Database Statement

A database is a collection of organized data. A database is not the same as the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). An RDBMS can have one or multiple databases, whereas a database can only belong to one RDBMS. On the other hand, a database can contain one or more tables, whereas a table can only belong to a database.

Therefore, the first step to use RDBMS to store data is to create a database. SQL offers the CREATE DATABASE commands, and its syntax is,

CREATE DATABASE "database_name"

If we want to create a database called "holidays", we would type in

CREATE DATABASE holidays

SQL DROP DATABASE >>
