Here we’ll learn about how to create new database sql server. Database is like a content pool, which is amalgamated, jotted together, or grouped into separate clusters having some kind of relation, or no relation in between themselves.
These groups are called as tables. Tables generically contain fields which define what kind of data they can hold. You can take the idea of fields as a type definition, or placeholder for the content that comes in them. For example, a field of string can never contain an integer in it. And if a field is stated as null, it is bound to contain some data, with every record being inserted in that table.
