MySQL CREATE TABLE Statement
The MySQL CREATE TABLE Statement
The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a new table in a database.
Syntax
CREATE TABLE table_name (
column1 datatype,
column2 datatype,
column3 datatype,
….
);The column parameters specify the names of the columns of the table.
The datatype parameter specifies the type of data the column can hold (e.g. varchar, integer, date, etc.).
MySQL CREATE TABLE Example
The following example creates a table called “Persons” that contains five columns: PersonID, LastName, FirstName, Address, and City:
Example
CREATE TABLE Persons (
PersonID int,
LastName varchar(255),
FirstName varchar(255),
Address varchar(255),
City varchar(255)
);The PersonID column is of type int and will hold an integer.
The LastName, FirstName, Address, and City columns are of type varchar and will hold characters, and the maximum length for these fields is 255 characters.
The empty “Persons” table will now look like this:
| PersonID | LastName | FirstName | Address | City |
|---|---|---|---|---|
