Create a MySQL Database


❮ PreviousNext ❯

A database consists of one or more tables.

You will need special CREATE privileges to create or to delete a MySQL


database.

Create a MySQL Database Using MySQLi


and PDO
The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a database in MySQL.

The following examples create a database named "myDB":

Example (MySQLi Object-oriented)


<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
  die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
  echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
  echo "Error creating database: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>
Note: When you create a new database, you must only specify the first three
arguments to the mysqli object (servername, username and password).

Tip: If you have to use a specific port, add an empty string for the database-
name argument, like this: new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password",
"", port)
