Create and alter database

To create the database using a query

Create database DatabaseName


To alter a database, once it's created 

Alter database DatabaseName Modify Name = NewDatabaseName

Or
sp_renameDB 'OldDatabaseName','NewDatabaseName'

Creating database with file groups

CREATE DATABASE [FGTest] ON  PRIMARY
( NAME = N'exampledb',
FILENAME ='E:\sample.mdf' ,
SIZE = 3072KB , FILEGROWTH = 1024KB ),
FILEGROUP [Secondary] ( NAME ='exampledb2',
FILENAME = N'E:\sampledb2.ndf' ,
SIZE = 3072KB , FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'Example_log',
FILENAME = N'E:\example_log.ldf' ,
SIZE = 1024KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO


To Delete or Drop a database
You cannot drop a database, if it is currently in use.
So, if other users are connected, you need to put the database in single user mode and then drop the database.
Alter Database DatabaseName Set SINGLE_USER With Rollback Immediate

drop database databasename
