SQL SMS - Error - There is already an object named "genre" in the database - sql

Question

I'm trying to create a hypothetical videostore database and this error message comes up everytime I execute this query:
DROP DATABASE videostore
CREATE DATABASE videostore
CREATE TABLE genre
(
genre_id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
genre_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE classification
(
rating VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT classification_pk PRIMARY KEY,
description VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
minimum_age INT NULL,
);
CREATE TABLE format
(
format_id INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT format_pk PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
format_name VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
purchase_cost FLOAT NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE rental_cost
(
rental_cost_id INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT rental_cost_pk PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
rental_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
rental_cost FLOAT NOT NULL,
rental_days TINYINT NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE customer
(
customer_id INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT customer_pk PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
first_name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
surname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
dob DATETIME NOT NULL,
home_address VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
contact_number VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
referrer_id INT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES customer(customer_id),
);
CREATE TABLE movie
(
movie_id INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT movie_pk PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
movie_name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
year SMALLINT NOT NULL,
duration SMALLINT NULL,
descrip VARCHAR(120) NULL,
classification VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES classification(rating),
rental_cost_id INT NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES rental_cost(rental_cost_id),
);
CREATE TABLE copy
(
copy_id INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT copy_pk PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
movie_id INT NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES movie(movie_id),
format_id INT NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES format(format_id),
);
CREATE TABLE rental
(
rental_id INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT rental_pk PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
copy_id INT NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES copy(copy_id),
customer_id INT NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES customer(customer_id),
rental_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
return_date DATETIME NULL
);
CREATE TABLE genre_movie
(
genre_id INT NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES genre(genre_id),
movie_id INT NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES movie(movie_id),
CONSTRAINT genre_movie_pk PRIMARY KEY (genre_id, movie_id)
);
(Sorry it's not in the correct format for reading a script with ease, I just really couldn't work out how to do that.)
Basically when I execute the SQL script it tells me that the object 'genre' already exists, but I can't see it anywhere else in my code.
And the table shouldn't already exist because I drop the database each time the script is executed right?
Sidenote - if there's a better way to make it so the database is dropped only if it exists please help me with that also.
Appreciate it.

Answer 1

I think you need to add USE videostore after the CREATE DATABASE videostore. Otherwise you are creating tables in whatever database you are currently in.

Answer 2

I think you are executing this in the context of the master database. If you check it you will probably see all your tables are actually in master.
Change the first part to this:
DROP DATABASE videostore
CREATE DATABASE videostore
USE videostore
CREATE TABLE genre

Answer 3

It's generally best to execute sql statements when required - try:
DROP DATABASE videostore
GO
CREATE DATABASE videostore
GO
USE videostore
CREATE TABLE genre
(
genre_id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY,
genre_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL
);
GO
etc.
