create database with mysql code example

Example 1: MySQL CREATE DATABASE

MySQL implements a database as a directory that contains all files which correspond to tables in the database.

To create a new database in MySQL, you use the CREATE DATABASE statement with the following syntax:

CREATE DATABASE [IF NOT EXISTS] database_name
[CHARACTER SET charset_name]
[COLLATE collation_name]

Example 2: mysql create database

CREATE {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF NOT EXISTS] db_name
    [create_option] ...

create_option: {
    [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET [=] charset_name
  | [DEFAULT] COLLATE [=] collation_name
}
