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;
