## DESCRIPTION

db.createdb allows the user to create a new empty database through different drivers. A working database connection needs to be established, see db.login.

Currently only SQLite and PostgreSQL database drivers are supported.

## EXAMPLES

### Create a new SQLite file-based database

Note that the standard GRASS GIS SQLite database is by default generated in the user's current mapset. This example shows an out-of-mapset database file creation:

    db.createdb driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db

### Create a new PostgreSQL database

Create a new PostgreSQL database (after the PostgreSQL connection got established through the pg driver):

    db.createdb driver=pg database=grassdb

Create a new PostgreSQL database (after the PostgreSQL connection got established through the odbc driver):

    db.createdb driver=odbc database=grassdb

## TODO

Support other database drivers, too.
