I’m a bit confused; I thought "CREATE DATABASE" was for creating databases, not data types.

I feel like "CREATE CLASS" might be related to object-oriented databases, but it doesn't sound right for defining a data type.

You guys are overthinking this. Just create a new database and let the database engine handle the data types. Simple as that!
