# Create a database in a ClickHouse® cluster

When [creating a ClickHouse® cluster](/managed-databases/clickhouse/create-cluster.mdx), the `default` database is automatically created. You cannot create a new database with the same name.

1. [Connect to the cluster](/managed-databases/clickhouse/connect-to-cluster.mdx).

2. Create a database using an SQL query:

   ```sql
   CREATE DATABASE <database_name>;
   ```

   Specify `<database_name>` as the database name.

To learn more about creating databases, see the [CREATE DATABASE](https://clickhouse.com/docs/ru/sql-reference/statements/create/database) instruction in the ClickHouse® documentation.
