How to create a table in SQL
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a table in SQL. For creating a new oracle table we will use CREATE TABLE statement in the oracle database. It must be noted that we should have privilege to CREATE TABLE in sql schema. Also the sql table should have quota for table space.
SYNTAX for CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLE schema_name.table_name (
column_1 data_type column_constraint,
column_2 data_type column_constraint,
...
...
);
In the above SQL code we can see
- CREATE TABLE : It is the main clause under which other information is put.
- schema_name.table_name : We will mention schema name and then table name which we wanted to create. There are some naming convention which we need to follow.
- column_xx: This is the column name that we wanted to create it will follow data type of pl/sql e.g number, varchar2 and it will followed by constraint if any like NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY or any CHECK that we wanted to put.
We should be using comma if there is more than one sql column and after the last column use close parenthesis.
Oracle CREATE TABLE statement example
CREATE TABLE schema_name.employee(
employee_id NUMBER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY,
first_name VARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL,
last_name VARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(employee_id)
);
In the above sql query we tried to CREATE TABLE employee with columns name employee_id, first_name , last_name .
