Sintaxis de SQL CREATE TABLE:listada por DBMS

Este artículo contiene SQL CREATE TABLE sintaxis, implementada por varios sistemas de administración de bases de datos (DBMS). La sintaxis se enumera exactamente como cada proveedor la ha incluido en su sitio web. Haga clic en el enlace correspondiente para ver más detalles sobre la sintaxis de un proveedor en particular.

Los DBMS cubiertos son MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL y Oracle Database.

Base de datos de Oracle

De la documentación en línea de Oracle Database 12c Versión 1 (12.1):

CREATE [ GLOBAL TEMPORARY ] TABLE [ schema. ] table
  { relational_table | object_table | XMLType_table } ;

A continuación se proporcionan detalles sobre cada una de las tres opciones.

tabla_relacional

[ (relational_properties) ]
[ ON COMMIT { DELETE | PRESERVE } ROWS ]
[ physical_properties ]
[ table_properties ]

objeto_tabla

OF
   [ schema. ] object_type
   [ object_table_substitution ]
   [ (object_properties) ]
   [ ON COMMIT { DELETE | PRESERVE } ROWS ]
   [ OID_clause ]
   [ OID_index_clause ]
   [ physical_properties ]
   [ table_properties ]

XMLType_table

OF XMLTYPE
  [ (oject_properties) ]
  [ XMLTYPE XMLType_storage ]
  [ XMLSchema_spec ]
  [ XMLType_virtual_columns ]
  [ ON COMMIT { DELETE | PRESERVE } ROWS ]
  [ OID_clause ]
  [ OID_index_clause ]
  [ physical_properties ]
  [ table_properties ]

Consulte la documentación oficial de Oracle para obtener detalles de las opciones adicionales disponibles para cada uno de estos.

Uso de la GUI

La creación de tablas también se puede realizar a través de la GUI en cada uno de los sistemas de administración de bases de datos, o mediante el uso de cualquiera de las herramientas de GUI disponibles para usar con ese producto.

Por ejemplo, puede crear una tabla a través de la GUI cuando trabaja con MySQL Workbench.
