I try to write database name with the table name db.tablename but it’s not working
I need to create the database then create the tables and its constraints but I don’t know where is the error.I am a sql noob

Answer 1

It’s never Database.Table.

It’s either Table, or Schema.Table, or Database.Schema.Table, or Server.Database.Schema.Table.

You probably just want to insert USE agom right after create database, and then only refer to tables by name.

Alternatively, you can refer to your tables as agom.dbo.Work_Order, dbo being the default database schema.
