Create Database in MySQL

Creating a database in MySQL involves using the `CREATE DATABASE` statement. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Connect to MySQL Server:

- Use a MySQL client, such as MySQL Command-Line Client or MySQL Workbench, to connect to the MySQL server.

2. Open a New Query or Command Window:

- Once connected, open a new query or command window to enter SQL statements.

3. Execute SQL Statement to Create a Database:

- Use the `CREATE DATABASE` statement to create a new database. Replace `'your_database_name'` with the desired name for your database.

  CREATE DATABASE your_database_name;

4. Verify Database Creation:

- To ensure that the database has been created, you can use the following SQL statement:

  SHOW DATABASES;

5. Optionally Switch to the New Database:

- If you want to start working within the newly created database, you can use the `USE` statement:

  USE your_database_name;

6. Grant Permissions (Optional):

- If necessary, grant permissions to users to access and manipulate objects within the new database using the `GRANT` statement.

Example:

Here's a complete example to create a database named "sampledb" and switch to it:

-- Step 3: Create a Database

CREATE DATABASE sampledb;

-- Step 4: Verify Database Creation

SHOW DATABASES;

-- Step 5: Switch to the New Database

USE sampledb;

Ensure that you have the necessary privileges to create databases. If you encounter any issues, check with your MySQL system administrator for the required permissions.

Note: The specific SQL statements and syntax might vary slightly depending on the MySQL version and the MySQL client you are using. Always refer to the MySQL documentation for your specific version for accurate syntax and details.
