# CREATE TABLESPACE

Create a tablespace for data storage. This command defines a physical file container for storing table data, primarily for InnoDB or NDB engines.

{% hint style="info" %}
The `CREATE TABLESPACE` statement is not supported by MariaDB. It was originally inherited from MySQL NDB Cluster. In MySQL 5.7 and later, the statement is also supported for InnoDB. However, MariaDB has chosen not to include that specific feature. See [MDEV-19294](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-19294) for more information.
