There's no ODBC call that will create a database.
If this is crucial, you can see if your database supports some sort of
"create Database" statement. If so, you can connect to an existing
database, then execute a database-specific call using SQLExecDirect.
But knowing the first database to connect to and the syntax of the
statement is completely up to you. For example, MS SQL has such a
command. From my SQL documentation, I get
Syntax
CREATE DATABASE database_name
[ ON
[ < filespec > [ ,...n ] ]
[ , < filegroup > [ ,...n ] ]
]
[ LOG ON { < filespec > [ ,...n ] } ]
[ COLLATE collation_name ]
[ FOR LOAD | FOR ATTACH ]
< filespec > ::=
[ PRIMARY ]
( [ NAME = logical_file_name , ]
FILENAME = 'os_file_name'
[ , SIZE = size ]
[ , MAXSIZE = { max_size | UNLIMITED } ]
[ , FILEGROWTH = growth_increment ] ) [ ,...n ]
< filegroup > ::=
FILEGROUP filegroup_name < filespec > [ ,...n ]
MS Access does not, nor does Oracle (to my knowledge.)
In PostGresql, the documentation says
CREATE DATABASE name
[ [ WITH ] [ OWNER [=] dbowner ]
[ LOCATION [=] 'dbpath' ]
[ TEMPLATE [=] template ]
[ ENCODING [=] encoding ] ]
