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>
