Create new database

Syntax:

create database {db name}

Example:

create database BankApp

Create new table

create table  {table name}(

  {column name} {data type}    {optional/required},

  {column name} {data type} {optional/required},

  {column name} {data type} {optional/required},

  {column name} {data type} {optional/required}

)

Note: {optional/required}  specify using null which means optional, but not null means required 

Example:

create table customer (

 id  int not null,

 firstname varchar(50)  null

)

 

CREATE TABLE Account (

     ID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

     DepositAmount float NOT NULL,

     WithdrawAmount float NULL,

     TransactionDate datetime NULL,

     MerchantName nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,

     MerchantAddress nvarchar(50) NULL,

     MerchantPhone nvarchar(50) NULL,

     CustomerName nvarchar(50) NULL,

     CustomerAddress nvarchar(50) NULL,

     CustomerPhone nvarchar(50) NULL,

     LastUpdateDate datetime] NULL,

     LastUpdateBy nvarchar(50) NULL

)

 

Identity : will make sure you will have nonrepeating numbers for the Id

Default Value: will set the default value of the column

example: We want LastUpdateDate to be the date the data was last touched. In this case we can set the default value in SQL server designer to be getdate(). getdate()  is a sql function to get the current date.
