Creating MySQL Database

# 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. ## Create a Database using PHP Script PHP uses **mysqli query()** or **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 ``` $mysqli->query($sql,$resultmode) ```

Sr.No.	Parameter & Description
1	$sql Required - SQL query to create a MySQL database.
2	$resultmode Optional - Either the constant MYSQLI\_USE\_RESULT or MYSQLI\_STORE\_RESULT depending on the desired behavior. By default, MYSQLI\_STORE\_RESULT is used.

### Example Try the following example to create a database − Copy and paste the following example as mysql\_example.php − ``` Creating MySQL Database connect_errno ) { printf("Connect failed: %s
", $mysqli->connect_error); exit(); } printf('Connected successfully.
'); if ($mysqli->query("CREATE DATABASE TUTORIALS")) { printf("Database TUTORIALS created successfully.
"); } if ($mysqli->errno) { printf("Could not create database: %s
", $mysqli->error); } $mysqli->close(); ?> ``` ### Output Access the mysql\_example.php deployed on apache web server and verify the output. ``` Connected successfully. Database TUTORIALS created successfully. ```
