What are the ways to create a MySQL database?

Several methods exist for creating MySQL databases.

  1. Creating with command line: You can create a MySQL database through command line by using the CREATE DATABASE statement. For example: CREATE DATABASE dbname;
  2. Create using MySQL client tools: MySQL offers various client tools such as MySQL Workbench, Navicat, etc. These tools provide a visual interface for operations, allowing the creation of databases through a graphical user interface.
  3. Create with phpMyAdmin: phpMyAdmin is a web-based MySQL database management tool that can be accessed through a browser and provides the ability to create databases.
  4. Create using script: You can write a script to create a database by executing SQL statements within the script. For example, write a script using Python, connect to a MySQL database using the PyMySQL library, and then execute the CREATE DATABASE statement.

Regardless of the method used to create a database, it is necessary to provide a name for the database. Additionally, some options for the database can be specified through parameters, such as character set and sorting rules.
