Select DATABASE ?
Select Database
When you have multiple databases in your SQL Schema, then
before starting your operation, you would need to select a
database where all the operations would be performed.

The SQL USE statement is used to select any existing database


in SQL schema.

Syntax : USE DatabaseName ;

Example:
USE TestDB1 ;
SQL Syntax

All the SQL statements start with any of the


keywords like
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER,
DROP, CREATE, USE, SHOW and all the
statements end with a semicolon (;).

4
SQL Syntax

Important point to be noted is that SQL is case insensitive,


which means SELECT and select have same meaning in SQL
statements.

Create Database

The SQL CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create


new SQL database.
Syntax :

CREATE DATABASE DatabaseName;


Always database name should be unique within the RDBMS.

Example:

CREATE DATABASE School ;

6
Drop Database

The SQL DROP DATABASE statement is used to drop ( delete )


an existing database in SQL schema.
Syntax :

DROP DATABASE DatabaseName;

Example:

DROP DATABASE TestDB1 ;


NOTE: Be careful before using this operation because by deleting an
existing database would result in loss of complete information stored in
the database. must not be in itself, because it used at already.
