Following is the full syntax used for creating database in Sql Server 2005.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE DATABASE databasename
[ ON [ PRIMARY [ < filespec >
LOG ON [ < filespec >
< filespec > : : =
( [ NAME = logicalfilename ,
FILENAME = 'osfilename'
[ , SIZE = size
[ , MAXSIZE = maxsize UNLIMITED
[ , FILEGROWTH = growthincrement ) [ ,.... 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=osfilename specifies the operating-system file name for the file.
PRIMARY specifies the associated <filespec> list that defines files in the primary filegroup.
NAME=logicalfilename specifies the logical name for the file.
MAXSIZE=maxsize specifies the maxium size to which the file defined in the <filespec> list can grow.
FILEGROWTH=growthincrement specifies the growth increment of the file defined in the <filespec> 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 :
sphelpdb [ databasename
To drop a user defined database use following command:
DROP DATABASE databasename
Note: you cannot delete a system-defined database.
To rename a user-defined database use :
sprenamedb olddatabasename , newdatabasename
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
