MySQL – Create Database
Create Database Using mysqladmin
You would need special privileges to create or to delete a MySQL database. So assuming you have access to the root user, you can create any database using the mysql mysqladmin binary.
Example
Here is a simple example to create a database called TUTORIALS −
[root@host]# mysqladmin -u root -p create TUTORIALS Enter password:******
This will create a MySQL database called TUTORIALS.

Sr.No. | Parameter & Description |

1 | sql Required – SQL query to create or delete a MySQL database |
2 | connection Optional – if not specified, then the last opened connection by mysql_connect will be used. |

<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>
