Code for creating a new database in mysql console
To create a new database in the MySQL console, you can use the following command:
CREATE DATABASE database_name;
Replace database_name
with the name you want to give your new database.
For example, to create a database named mydatabase
, you would use the following command:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;
If you want to create a database with a specific character set and collation, you can use the following command:
CREATE DATABASE database_name CHARACTER SET charset_name COLLATE collation_name;
Replace database_name
with the name you want to give your new database, charset_name
with the character set you want to use (e.g. utf8
or latin1
), and collation_name
with the collation you want to use (e.g. utf8_general_ci
or latin1_swedish_ci
).
For example, to create a database named mydatabase
with the utf8
character set and utf8_general_ci
collation, you would use the following command:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
Once you have created the database, you can use the USE
command to select it as the current database:
USE mydatabase;
This will allow you to create tables, insert data, and perform other operations within the new database.
