Create Database For Mac
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use the MySQL CREATE DATABASE
statement to create a new database in the server.
Install the SQL Server Management Studio software. This software is available for free from. If you wish to create a user without a password just take the -pwprompt off the command. Create a database. Here is the command: createdb -Otunnelsup -Eutf8 mysitedevelopment. The -O indicates the user that will become the owner of the database. Access the Database. The following command can be used to log into the database. 4D (formerly 4th Dimension) is a unique kind of database server, originally developed on the classic Mac and lives today on both Mac OS X and Windows. 4D is special because it is a competent relational database server but has a proprietary query language rather than SQL. 4D is also special because it is integrated with its own programming tool. If you want to create a database: create database name; is all you need to do If you do decide to use mysqladmin, mysqladmin can create and drop databases, but it cannot create new users.
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:

First, specify the database_name
following the CREATE DATABASE
clause. The database name must be unique within the MySQL server instance. If you try to create a database with a name that already exists, MySQL issues an error.
Second, to avoid an error in case you accidentally create a database that already exists, you can specify the IF NOT EXISTS
option. In this case, MySQL does not issue an error but terminates the CREATE DATABASE
statement instead.
Third, specify the character set and collation for the new database at creation time. If you omit the CHARACTER SET
and COLLATE
clauses, MySQL uses the default character set and collation for the new database.
Creating a new database using mysql
program
Create Database Mongodb Mac
To create a new database via the mysql
program, you use the following steps:
First, log in to the MySQL Server using the root
user
Type the password for the root
user and press Enter
.
Next, to display the existing database in the server to make sure that you are not creating a new database that already exists, you use the SHOW DATABASES
command as follows:
MySQL returns five existing databases in the current server.
Then, issue the CREATE DATABASE
command with the database e.g., testdb
and press Enter:
After that, if you want to review the created database, you can use the SHOW CREATE DATABASE
command:
MySQL returns the database name and the character set and collation of the database.
Finally, to access the newly created database, you use the USE database
command as follows:
Now, you can start creating tables and other databases objects within the testdb
database.
To quit the mysql program, type exit
command:
Creating a new database using MySQL Workbench
To create a new database using the MySQL Workbench, you follow these steps:
First, launch the MySQL Workbench and click the setup new connection button as shown in the following screenshot:
Second, type the name for the connection and click the Test Connection button.
MySQL Workbench displays a dialog asking for the password of the root
user:
You need to (1) type the password for the root
user, (2) check the Save password in vault, and (3) click OK button.
Third, double-click the connection name Local to connect to the MySQL Server.
MySQL Workbench opens the following window which consists of four parts: Navigator, Query, Information, and Output.
Fourth, click the create a new schema in the connected server button from the toolbar:
In MySQL, the schema is the synonym for the database. Creating a new schema also means creating a new database.
Fifth, the following window is open. You need to (1) enter the schema name, (2) change the character set and collation if necessary, and click the Apply button:
Sixth, MySQL Workbench opens the following window that displays the SQL script which will be executed. Note that the CREATE SCHEMA
statement command has the same effect as the CREATE DATABASE
statement.
If everything is fine, you will see the new database created and showed in the schemas tab of the Navigator section.
Seventh, to select the testdb2
database, (1) right click the database name and (2) choose Set as Default Schema menu item:
The testdb2
node is open as shown in the following screenshot.
Now, you can work with testdb2
from the MySQL Workbench.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to create a new database from mysql program using the MySQL CREATE DATABASE
statement and from MySQL Workbench using the CREATE SCHEMA
statement.
