MySQL creates a database

After logging in to the MySQL service, we can use the create command to create a database. The syntax is as follows:

CREATE DATABASE database name;

The following command simply demonstrates the process of creating a database, the data name is RUNOOB:

[[emailprotected]]# mysql -u root -p Enter< span class="pln"> password:****** # After logging in, enter the terminal mysql> create DATABASE RUNOOB; span> 

Use mysqladmin to create a database

As a normal user, you may need specific permissions to create or delete a MySQL database.

So we use the root user to log in here. The root user has the highest authority. You can use the mysql mysqladmin command to create a database.

The following command simply demonstrates the process of creating a database, the data name is RUNOOB:

[< span class="pln">[email protected]]# mysqladmin -u root < span class="pun">-p create RUNOOB Enter password:**** **

After the above command is executed successfully, the MySQL database RUNOOB will be created.

Use a PHP script to create a database

PHP uses the mysqli_query function to create or delete a MySQL database.

This function has two parameters, it returns TRUE when the execution is successful, otherwise it returns FALSE.

Syntax

mysqli_query(connection,query,resultmode); span>

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of PHP to create a database:

After the execution is successful, the following result will be returned:

If the database already exists, after execution, the following result will be returned:

Create a database

$dbhost = ‘localhost:3306< span class="hl-quotes">‘; // mysql server host address $dbuser = ‘root‘; // mysql username $dbpass = ‘123456‘; // mysql username and password $conn = mysqli_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass); if(! $conn ) { die(‘ connection error: ‘ . mysqli_error($conn)); } echo ‘ successfully connected
‘; $sql = ‘CREATE DATABASE RUNOOB‘; $retval = mysqli_query($conn,$sql ); if(! $retval ) { die(‘ failed to create database: ‘. mysqli_error($conn)); } echo “The database RUNOOB was successfully created
“; mysqli_close($conn); ?> span> < /span>< /span>< /span>< /span>
