Create new postgres database sql pro
Here is the SQL command to create a new PostgreSQL database:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;
Replace mydatabase
with the name you want to give your new database.
If you want to create a database with a specific owner (e.g. a specific PostgreSQL user), you can use the following syntax:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase OWNER myuser;
Replace myuser
with the name of the PostgreSQL user you want to own the database.
If you want to create a database with a specific encoding and locale, you can use the following syntax:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase ENCODING 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE 'en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE 'en_US.UTF-8';
This will create a database with UTF-8 encoding, and the locale set to English (United States).
You can also specify other options, such as the template database to use, the tablespace to use, and the connection limits, using the following syntax:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase
TEMPLATE template1
TABLESPACE mytablespace
CONNECTION LIMIT 100;
This will create a database that uses the template1
template, stores its tables in the mytablespace
tablespace, and allows up to 100 concurrent connections.
Note: You need to have the necessary permissions to create a database in PostgreSQL. Typically, the CREATE DATABASE
privilege is granted to the postgres
user, but this can vary depending on your PostgreSQL setup.
Also, you can use the psql
command-line tool to create a database, like this:
psql -U myuser -d template1 -c "CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;"
This will create a database named mydatabase
using the template1
template, and owned by the myuser
user.
