* The {{Code|$options}} argument can be used to change the indexing behavior:
** the allowed options are {{Option|ADDCACHE}} and the [[Options#Indexing|indexing]], [[Options#Full-Text|full-text]], [[Options#Parsing|parsing]] and [[Options#XML Parsing|XML parsing]] options, all in lower case.
** parsing the options are only applied to string inputs input (XML strings or file/directory references).
* An existing database will be overwritten. Next, {{Code|db:create}} will be placed last on the [[XQuery Update#Pending Update List|Pending Update List]]. As a consequence, a newly created database cannot be addressed in the same query.
