To create a new database in HSQLDB, you can use SQL commands or the HSQLDB DatabaseManager tool. Here are two common methods:
Using SQL Commands :
* Connect to an existing HSQLDB database instance using a SQL client or tool (e.g., HSQLDB DatabaseManager, SQL Workbench/J, etc.) or embed HSQLDB into your Java application and use JDBC.
Execute the SQL command to create a new database. The basic syntax is:
CREATE DATABASE <database_name>;?
* Replace <database_name> with the desired name for your new database.
Using HSQLDB DatabaseManager :* If you have HSQLDB DatabaseManager installed, you can use its graphical user interface to create a new database:
* Launch HSQLDB DatabaseManager.
* Click on the "Connect" button to connect to the HSQLDB server.
* Once connected, click on the "File" menu and select "Create New Database."
* Enter the name for your new database and specify the location where you want to create it.
* Click "OK" to create the database.
After creating the database using either method, you can start working with it by creating tables, inserting data, executing queries, and performing other database operations. Make sure to connect to the newly created database instance using the appropriate connection parameters (JDBC URL, username, password, etc.) if you're using JDBC or another SQL client.
