Databricks Data Analyst Practice Exam

The command used to create a new database in Databricks is the "CREATE DATABASE" command. This command allows users to define a new database within the Databricks environment, where they can subsequently create and manage tables and other database objects.

Using this command is fundamental for organizing data effectively, as it provides a logical structure for data storage and retrieval. In SQL environments, creating a database is a key step in setting up the workspace for data-related tasks.

The other options serve different purposes: "CREATE VIEW" is used for creating a virtual table based on the result of a SQL query, "CREATE TABLE" is for defining new tables to store data, and "CREATE SCHEMA" typically refers to a way of organizing database objects within a database, though it may also sometimes be synonymous with "CREATE DATABASE" in specific contexts. However, in standard SQL and Databricks, "CREATE DATABASE" is the proper command for initiating new databases.
