Previous Home Next

The creation of a database involves the database and determining the size of the database and the files used to store data in the database.

CREATE DATABASE database_name
ON
[<filespace>...n]
[<filegroup>...n]
LOG ON
(NAME=logical_file_name,
FILENAME='os_file_name',
SIZE=size,MAXSIZE=max_size,
FILEGROWTH=growth_increment)

where, data_base name is the name of new database.

ON specifies the disk files used to store the data portion of the database.

NAME=logical_file_name specifies the logical name for the file.

FILENAME=os_file_name specifies the operating system file name.

SIZE=size specifies the initial size f the file defined in the (<filespace>) list.

MAXSIZE=max_size specifies the maximum size to which the file defined in the <filespace> list can grow

FILEGROWTH=growth_incremet specifies the growth increament of the file defined in the <filespace> list.

FILEGROUP filegroup_name name specifies the name of the filegroup.

LOG ON specifies the disk files used to store the log files.

Example:

CREATE DATABASE  aditya
ON
(NAME=aditya_dat,
FILENAME='C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\DATA\aditya.mdf',
SIZE=12,
MAXSIZE=100,
FILEGROWTH=2)
LOG ON
(NAME='aditya_log',
FILENAME='C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\DATA\aditya.ldf',
SIZE=4 MB,
MAXSIZE=50 MB,
FILEGROWTH=2 MB)

The CREATE DATABASE process is allocating 12.00 MB on disk 'aditya_dat'.

The CREATE DATABASE process is allocating 4.00 MB on disk 'aditya_log'.

output

Aditya named database created
