CREATE TABLE table name
(
Column_name1 data-type (size),
Column_name2 data-type (size),
Column_name3 data-type (size)
);

Ex :-
CREATE TABLE my_tab
(
name varchar (30),
roll int (4),
address varchar (100)
);

Another way to create a table

Syntax :-
CREATE TABLE table name
(

Column_name2 data-type (size) [constraints],
Column_name3 data-type (size) [constraints]
);

Ex :-
CREATE TABLE my_tab
(
name varchar (30) NOT NULL,
roll int (4) PRIMARY KEY,
