Following is the full syntax used for creating database in Sql Server 2005. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE DATABASE database_name [ ON [ PRIMARY ] [ ] ] { LOG ON [ < filespec > ] ] < filespec > : : = ( [ NAME = logical_file_name , ] FILENAME = 'os_file_name' [ , SIZE = size ] [ , MAXSIZE = { max_size | UNLIMITED } ] [ , FILEGROWTH = growth_increment ] ) [ ,.... n ]
Description ::-
ON specifies the disk file used to store the data portion of the database.
LOG ON specifies the disk files used to store log files.
FILENAME=os_file_name specifies the operating-system file name for the file.
PRIMARY specifies the associated list that defines files in the primary filegroup.
NAME=logical_file_name specifies the logical name for the file.
MAXSIZE=max_size specifies the maxium size to which the file defined in the list can grow.
FILEGROWTH=growth_increment specifies the growth increment of the file defined in the list.
Remember - " FILEGROWTH setting for a file cannot exceed the MAXSIZE setting"
NOTE : Everything written between [ ] is optional .
But remeber that to create a database you must be a member of the dbcreator server role.
After a database is created, to check details of the database use following command : sp_helpdb [ database_name ]
To drop a user defined database use following command: DROP DATABASE database_name
Note: you cannot delete a system-defined database.
To rename a user-defined database use : sp_renamedb old_database_name , new_database_name
Fortunately you can also create a database by a right click on the object explorer, Thanks to SQL SERVER Management studio 2005.
SQL SERVER 2005 contains the following system database :
master
tempdb
model
msdb
Resource
