To create a database using SQL, you can follow these general steps:

1. Connect to a Database Management System (DBMS) such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle using a database client or command-line interface.
2. Use the appropriate SQL command to create a new database. The syntax may vary slightly depending on the DBMS you are using. For example:
   • MySQL: CREATE DATABASE database_name;
   • PostgreSQL: CREATE DATABASE database_name;
   • Oracle: CREATE DATABASE database_name;
3. Optionally, you can specify additional parameters during the creation of the database, such as character encoding, collation, or storage settings. These parameters are specific to each DBMS.
4. Once the command is executed successfully, the database is created and ready for use.
