    my_foreign_key INT NOT NULL,
    my_tb_created TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

Example 2: MySQL CREATE DATABASE

MySQL implements a database as a directory that contains all files which correspond to tables in the database.

To create a new database in MySQL, you use the CREATE DATABASE statement with the following syntax:

CREATE DATABASE [IF NOT EXISTS] database_name
[CHARACTER SET charset_name]
[COLLATE collation_name]
