Create a MySQL database and user

Log in to the database server using the MySQL client and the correct credentials. Then, follow the steps below to create a new database and user for your applications:

  • Create a new database:

    mysql> create database DATABASE_NAME;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

  • Create a new user (only with local access) and grant privileges to this user on the new database:

    mysql> grant all privileges on DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'USER_NAME'@'localhost' identified by 'PASSWORD';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

  • Create a new user (with remote access) and grant privileges to this user on the new database:

    mysql> grant all privileges on DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'USER_NAME'@'%' identified by 'PASSWORD';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

  • After modifying the MySQL grant tables, execute the following command in order to apply the changes:

    mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Some applications require specific privileges in the database. Check the MySQL official getting started guide.
