SQL CREATE DATABASE QUIZ

The SQL CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a new database in a database management system (DBMS). It does not create a table or alter an existing database. It is used to initiate the creation of an entirely new database.

The keyword "CREATE" is used to create various database objects, including databases. In this case, "CREATE DATABASE" is used to create a new database.

The essential component of the SQL CREATE DATABASE statement is the "Database Name." It specifies the name of the new database that you want to create

The correct syntax to create a new database is "CREATE DATABASE mydatabase_name;".

 

The database name is specified within the "CREATE DATABASE" statement itself. It is not part of the other clauses like VALUES, WHERE, or FROM.

If you attempt to create a database with a name that already exists in the DBMS, an error will be generated, and the new database will not be created.

The "DROP DATABASE" statement is used to delete a database and all its associated objects from the DBMS

The SQL CREATE DATABASE statement cannot be rolled back within a transaction. Once executed, it immediately creates the database and cannot be undone using a rollback.

The privilege required to execute the SQL CREATE DATABASE statement is the "CREATE" privilege, which allows users to create new databases.

Additional options such as character set and collation can be specified as part of the "CREATE DATABASE" statement, allowing you to define the characteristics of the new database.
