To create a new database table and user by the command line, you have to enter this command:
mysql -u root -p
(The -u root = login as root user. The -p part = enter a password (it'll prompt you for the password - it isn't a good idea to type passwords directly into a command))
You should now be in the mysql prompt.
Let's pretend we want to set up the following:
- Database name new_database
- New user new_username
- And the password for the new user pAs5w0rd
At the mysql prompt enter the following 4 sql statements.
Remember to add a ;
at the end of every sql statement.
CREATE USER 'new_username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pAs5w0rd';
CREATE DATABASE new_database;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON new_database.* TO 'new_username'@'localhost' ;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
And you should be all done!
