MySQL Create Database

To create a new database in MySQL, you can use the CREATE DATABASE statement. Here’s the basic syntax:

CREATE DATABASE database_name;

• database_name: Replace this with the name you want for the new database.

Example:

CREATE DATABASE mydb;

This statement creates a new database named “mydb.”

You can also specify additional options when creating the database, such as character set and collation. Here’s an example of creating a database with specific character set and collation:

CREATE DATABASE mydb
  CHARACTER SET utf8
  COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

This command creates the “mydb” database with the character set “utf8” and the collation “utf8_general_ci.”

After creating the database, you can access and work with it using SQL statements or through a MySQL client, and you can also create tables, add data, and perform various database operations within the newly created database.

Remember that you may need the necessary privileges to create databases. In many cases, users with the CREATE privilege can create databases. Always ensure you have the required permissions to perform database creation.
