<h1><code>CREATE SCRIPT</code> Statement</h1>Creates a script in the notebook.
  <h2>Syntax</h2>
  <p><tt>CREATE SCRIPT <i>script-name</i> AS <i>sql-commands</i>;</tt><br></p>
  <h2>Parameters</h2>
  <ul class="args">
    <li><i>script-name</i>: text<br>
    The name of the script to create. This can be a string literal or an expression that evaluates to a string.</li>

  <p>If a script with the specified name already exists, an error is thrown.</p>
  <p>Once created, the script can be executed using the EXECUTE statement.</p>
  <h2>Examples</h2>
  <ul class="examples">
    <li><code>CREATE SCRIPT MyScript AS 'PRINT ''Hello World'';';</code><br>
    Creates a script named "MyScript" that prints "Hello World".</li>
    <li><code>CREATE SCRIPT ReportScript AS 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = 1;';</code><br>

    <li><code>CREATE SCRIPT ('Report' || '2024') AS 'PRINT ''Report for 2024'';';</code><br>
    Creates a script whose name is the result of concatenating "Report" and "2024", i.e., "Report2024".</li>
