If you use sqlite
db=SQLDB('sqlite://storage.sqlite')
there is nothing to do, web2py will create it.
If you use GAE
db=GQLDB()
also there is nothing to do.
If you use any of the other database engines, the actual database
cannot be created in SQL but using the specific functions (createdb
for postgreSQL). I believe this step does not belong in web2py. There
are many details such as permissions and they are better handled at
the unix shell level.
In principle it would be possible to create a web2py app that provides
an interface for the most common database engines.
