    DatabaseAndScopeName

    The DatabaseAndScopeName represents two identifiers separated by a dot character ., where the first identifier is the database name and the second identifier is the scope name.

    If a single identifier is present, Capella Columnar resolves it as a scope name and assumes that the database is Default.

    For more information about how Capella Columnar organizes entities into a database.scope.database_object hierarchy and resolves names, see Entities in Capella Columnar Services.

    Example

    The following example creates a scope with the name myPlaylist in the music database.

     CREATE SCOPE music.myPlaylist;
