How To Create a New Database with a New User in MySQL

Rob — February 1, 2014 - 12:04

To create a new database in MySQL and a new user with full rights to the newly created database you can follow these steps:

Open a terminal command prompt and login to mysql (enter the mysql root password when prompted):

mysql -u root -p

This should get you into the mysql> prompt. All commands executed from now on will be for the mysql server that you just logged into. Please note that the semi-colon is important - it tells the mysql prompt that the end of the command has been reached and to execute the command.
