Create Database using mysqladmin:
You would need special privileges to create or to delete a MySQL database. So assuming you have access to root user, you can create any database using mysql mysqladmin binary.
Example:
Here is a simple example to create database called TUTORIALS:
[root@host]# mysqladmin -u root -p create TUTORIALS Enter password:******
This will create a MySQL database TUTORIALS.
Create Database using PHP Script:
PHP uses mysql_query function to create or delete a MySQL database. This function takes two parameters and returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Syntax:
bool mysql_query( sql, connection );
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| sql | Required - SQL query to create or delete a MySQL database |
| connection | Optional - if not specified, then last opened connection by mysql_connect will be used. |
Example:
Try out the following example to create a database:
<html><head><title>Creating MySQL Database</title></head><body><?php $dbhost ='localhost:3036'; $dbuser ='root'; $dbpass ='rootpassword'; $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);if(! $conn ){die('Could not connect: '. mysql_error());} echo 'Connected successfully<br />'; $sql ='CREATE DATABASE TUTORIALS'; $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );if(! $retval ){die('Could not create database: '. mysql_error());} echo "Database TUTORIALS created successfully\n"; mysql_close($conn);?></body></html>
