mysql:database:create

Create a new MySQL database

mysql

$ mysql -u ${username} -e 'CREATE DATABASE ${database_name};'

try on your machine

This command is used to create a new database in MySQL using the command line. Here is a breakdown of each element in the command:

mysql: This is the command to invoke the MySQL command line client.
-u ${username}: -u is used to specify the username to connect to the MySQL server. ${username} is a placeholder variable, and you need to replace it with the actual username you want to use.
-e 'CREATE DATABASE ${database_name};': -e is used to specify a query or command to be executed by MySQL. In this case, the command enclosed in single quotes ' ' is CREATE DATABASE ${database_name};. ${database_name} is a placeholder variable, and you should replace it with the actual name you want to give to your new database.

So, when you run this command and substitute the placeholders, it will connect to the MySQL server using the provided username and execute the specified CREATE DATABASE command to create a new database with the provided name.
