Warning

This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use `SQLiteDatabase.CreateDatabase` as a replacement.

## Description Creates a new SQLiteDatabase. It uses the DatabaseFile property as the `FolderItem` for the database to create. ## Notes If the database already exists, this function works like `Database.Connect`. If CreateDatabaseFile does not succeed, an `IOException` is raised. The old style where this method returned True or False is deprecated as of 2019r2. You should now catch the exception instead. This example creates a database file and catches the exception if the operation fails: ``` xojo Var f As FolderItem f = GetFolderItem("MyDatabase") Var db As New SQLiteDatabase db.DatabaseFile = f Try db.CreateDatabaseFile Catch error As IOException MsgBox("The database file could not be created: " + error.Message) End Try ``` ## Compatibility All project types on all supported operating systems.
