#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
define_namespace(namespace_name: &str)
}

• namespace_name: The name of the namespace to define.

Examples

Define a Namespace

To define a namespace, you can use the following code:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let statement = define_namespace("oyelowo");
}

In the example above, the define_namespace statement defines a namespace named "oyelowo".

This will generate the following SQL statement:

DEFINE NAMESPACE oyelowo;

You have now learned how to define a namespace using the define_namespace statement. Namespaces provide a way to organize and structure your database objects within SurrealDB, enabling better management and organization of your resources.
