SQL CREATE TABLE Statement
The CREATE TABLE Statement
The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a table in a database.
SQL CREATE TABLE Syntax
CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 data_type,
column_name2 data_type,
column_name3 data_type,
....
) |
The data type specifies what type of data the column can hold. For a complete
reference of all the data types available in MS Access, MySQL, and SQL Server,

CREATE TABLE Example
Now we want to create a table called "Persons" that contains five columns:
P_Id, LastName, FirstName, Address, and City.
We use the following CREATE TABLE statement:
CREATE TABLE Persons
(
P_Id int,
LastName varchar(255),
FirstName varchar(255),
Address varchar(255),
City varchar(255)
) |
The P_Id column is of type int and will hold a number. The LastName, FirstName, Address, and City columns are of
type varchar with a maximum length of 255 characters.
The empty "Persons" table will now look like this:
| P_Id |
LastName |
FirstName |
Address |
City |
| |
|
|
|
|
The empty table can be filled with data with the INSERT INTO statement.
