gcloud alpha spanner databases create (DATABASE : --instance=INSTANCE) [--async] [--database-dialect=DATABASE_DIALECT] [--ddl=DDL] [--ddl-file=DDL_FILE] [--kms-key=KMS_KEY : --kms-keyring=KMS_KEYRING --kms-location=KMS_LOCATION --kms-project=KMS_PROJECT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) Create a Cloud Spanner database.
To create an empty Cloud Spanner database, run:

To create a Cloud Spanner database with populated schema, run:
$ gcloud alpha spanner databases create testdb \ --instance=my-instance-id \ --ddl='CREATE TABLE mytable (a INT64, b INT64) PRIMARY KEY(a)'
To create a Cloud Spanner database with the PostgreSQL dialect, run:
$ gcloud alpha spanner databases create testdb \ --instance=my-instance-id --database-dialect=POSTGRESQL
