The CREATE TABLE statement in SQL Server database is used to create a new table in a database.

CREATE TABLE syntax

The basic syntax for creating a table is as follows:

CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name_1 datatype constraint,
column_name_2 datatype constraint,
....
column_name_n datatype constraint,
PRIMARY KEY (column1, column2, ... column_n)
);

table_name is the name of the table you want to create.
column_name_1, column_name_2, ... column_name_n are the names of the columns in the table.
datatype is the data type for each column, such as INT, VARCHAR, DATE, etc.
constraint is an optional constraint for each column, such as NOT NULL, UNIQUE, or FOREIGN KEY.
PRIMARY KEY is a constraint that specifies a unique identifier for each row in the table.

CREATE TABLE example

For example, the following SQL creates a table named "employees" with four columns: "id" (INT, primary key), "name" (VARCHAR), "age" (INT), and "salary" (DECIMAL).

CREATE TABLE employees
(
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
age INT NOT NULL,
salary DECIMAL(10, 2) NOT NULL
);

It's also possible to create a table from the result of a SELECT statement.

SELECT * INTO new_Students FROM Students;
