What platform are you on? Does your question relate to creating tables with your data or the tables that contain the information about the database, users, tables, etc (data dictionary)?

In Oracle these two are two separate sets of tables, and the data dictionary exists before you create tables with your data.

In Oracle, creating a new database means creating the tables that contain the database information (data dictionary), not your own.

Is it a starter test database for learning purposes only? It is a fairly long process, platform-dependent.
