Create database problem

Hello,
I tried to create database using embedded SQL through following
statements

...
exec sql begin declare section;
char dbname[]="pgdb";
...
exec sql end declare section;

main()
{
...
exec sql create database :dbname ;
...

}

On compilation ecpg gives parser error at "...create database..." statement.

Can anybody help ?

Thanks
Sirish
