### orbitdb.create(name, type, [options])
> Creates and opens an OrbitDB database.
* [log](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdblognameaddress): an imutable (write only) log database. Useful for transactions lists.
* [feed](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbfeednameaddress): a mutable log database. Useful for comments of a blog.
* [keyvalue](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbkeyvaluenameaddress): Useful for load data from keywords or an id.
* [docs](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbdocsnameaddress-options): a JSON objects storage. Useful for user data or forum posts.
* [counter](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbcounternameaddress): Useful for ordered data as an order list or playlist.
Returns a `Promise` that resolves to [a database instance](#store-api). `name` (string) should be the database name, not an OrbitDB address (i.e. `user.posts`). `type` is a supported database type (i.e. `eventlog` or [an added custom type](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db#custom-store-types)). `options` is an object with any of the following properties:
- `accessController` (object): An object, as shown in the example below, containing the key `write` whose value is an array of hex encoded public keys which are used to set write access to the database. `["*"]` can be passed in to give write access to everyone. See the [GETTING STARTED](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/GUIDE.md) guide for more info.
(Default: uses the OrbitDB identity id `orbitdb.identity.id`, which would give write access only to yourself)
