Creates a database resource as an asychronous operation in the Azure Cosmos DB service.

public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.ResourceResponse<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Database>> CreateDatabaseAsync (Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Database database, Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.RequestOptions options = default);

abstract member CreateDatabaseAsync : Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Database * Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.RequestOptions -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.ResourceResponse<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Database>>

Public Function CreateDatabaseAsync (database As Database, Optional options As RequestOptions = Nothing) As Task(Of ResourceResponse(Of Database))

Parameters

database: Database

The specification for the Database to create.

options: RequestOptions

(Optional) The RequestOptions for the request.

Returns

Task<ResourceResponse<Database>>

The Database that was created within a task object representing the service response for the asynchronous operation.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

If database is not set.

AggregateException

Represents a consolidation of failures that occured during async processing. Look within InnerExceptions to find the actual exception(s).

DocumentClientException

This exception can encapsulate many different types of errors. To determine the specific error always look at the StatusCode property. Some common codes you may get when creating a Database are:

StatusCode	Reason for exception
400	BadRequest - This means something was wrong with the database object supplied. It is likely that an id was not supplied for the new Database.
409	Conflict - This means a Database with an id matching the id field of `database` already existed.

Examples

The example below creates a new Database with an Id property of 'MyDatabase' This code snippet is intended to be used from within an asynchronous method as it uses the await keyword

using (IDocumentClient client = new DocumentClient(new Uri("service endpoint"), "auth key"))
{
    Database db = await client.CreateDatabaseAsync(new Database { Id = "MyDatabase" });
}

If you would like to construct a Database from within a synchronous method then you need to use the following code

using (IDocumentClient client = new DocumentClient(new Uri("service endpoint"), "auth key"))
{
    Database db = client.CreateDatabaseAsync(new Database { Id = "MyDatabase" }).Result;
}
