Folks!

I got the template for Create database:

USE master
GO

IF EXISTS
(
SELECT name
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = N'<Database_Name, sysname, Database_Name>'
)
DROP DATABASE <Database_Name, sysname, Database_Name>
GO

CREATE DATABASE <Database_Name, sysname, Database_Name>
GO

However, (my own) following example does not work:

USE master
GO

IF EXISTS
(
SELECT name
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = N'TestDB, sysname, TestDB'
)
DROP DATABASE TestDB, sysname, TestDB
GO

CREATE DATABASE TestDB, sysname, TestDB
GO

I get the following syntax error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near ','.

Please help.
