How Do I Create A Table?

Question

I will admi9t that I am the newest of "newbies" to SQL Server so I pose the basic question : How Do I Create A Table in SQL Server? I read in a book fairly recently how to do this but have forgotten.

"SQL Server 2008 supports the creation of tables using T-SQL, the SQL Server
Management Studio (SSMS) Object Explorer and the SSMS Database Diagram Editor. Regardless of the tool you choose, creating a table involves naming the table, defining the columns, and assigning properties to the columns. The visual tools (such
as Object Explorer and database diagrams) are usually the best starting point for creating tables.
Using Object Explorer to Create Tables
The Object Explorer in SSMS has a Tables node under each database listed. You can add tables via the Object Explorer by right-clicking this Tables node. As shown below the
New Table option displayed after you right-click the Tables node in Object Explorer. The top-right side of the screen shown in bleow.it is the table creation screen that allows you to enter the column name and data type and to set the Allow
Nulls option.
The data entry area under Column Name is a free-form area where you can define a column name. You can select the data type from the Data Type drop-down, which displays
the data types available with SQL Server. The Allow Nulls option is Boolean in nature and is either checked or not checked. For each column selected, a Column Properties section is displayed in SSMS, providing a myriad of additional properties that you can
assign to each column.
Using T-SQL to Create Tables
Ultimately, all the tables created with the visual tools can also be created by using T-SQL. As with many of the SSMS tools, database objects can be resolved or scripted into T-SQL statements.
Let’s examine the T-SQL syntax to better understand some of the table creation options. so let's create a Table name
test.Customer which has a 5 columns of CustomerID, LastName, FirstName, CreditLine, and CreationDate. so when you execute the bottom code you will have the table. 
--START with USE command to tell the sql server which database you want to create the table on, this case we want to create the table on Adventurework2008 (it’s a Sample database)"
USE
Adventurework2008
CREATETABLE test.Customer
(CustomerID
INT IDENTITY(1,1),
LastName
VARCHAR(50)
NOT NULL,
FirstName
VARCHAR(50)
NOT NULL,
CreditLine
MONEY SPARSE NULL,
CreationDate
DATE NOT
NULL)
GO
I hope this helps answering your question more or less. Goodluck
