CREATE TABLE creates a table with the given name. You must have the
CREATE privilege for the table.

By default, tables are created in the default database, using the
InnoDB storage engine. An error occurs if the table exists, if there is
no default database, or if the database does not exist.

For information about the physical representation of a table, see
