SQLite Create Table

In SQLite, CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a new table. While creating the table, we name that table and define its column and data types of each column.

Syntax:

snippet

CREATE TABLE database_name.table_name(
   column1 datatype  PRIMARY KEY(one or more columns),
   column2 datatype,
   column3 datatype,
   .....
   columnN datatype,
);

Let's take an example to create table in SQLite database:

snippet

CREATE TABLE STUDENT(
   ID INT PRIMARY KEY     NOT NULL,
   NAME           TEXT    NOT NULL,
   AGE            INT     NOT NULL,
   ADDRESS        CHAR(50),
   FEES         REAL
);

Use the SQLite ".tables" command to see if your table has been created successfully.

.tables

Let's create another table DEPERTMENT for future operations.

snippet

CREATE TABLE DEPARTMENT(
 ID INT PRIMARY KEY      NOT NULL,
  DEPT           CHAR(50) NOT NULL,
  EMP_ID         INT      NOT NULL
);

Now, we have two tables "DEPARTMENT" and "STUDENT".

Now check the created tables:
