Create a new MariaDB database and user
Log in to the database server using the MariaDB client and the correct credentials. Then, follow the steps below to create a new database and user for your applications:
-
Create a new database:
MariaDB> create database DATABASE_NAME;
-
Create a new user (only with local access) and grant privileges to this user on the new database:
MariaDB> grant all privileges on DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'USER_NAME'@'localhost' identified by 'PASSWORD';
-
Create a new user (with remote access) and grant privileges to this user on the new database:
MariaDB> grant all privileges on DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'USER_NAME'@'%' identified by 'PASSWORD';
-
After modifying the MariaDB grant tables, execute the following command in order to apply the changes:
MariaDB> flush privileges;
Some applications require specific privileges in the database. Check the MariaDB official documentation for getting, installing, and upgrading MariaDB.
