wordpress:database:create
Create the database for the WordPress installation
$ mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE ${database_name};" ${password};
try on your machine
This command is attempting to execute a MySQL command in a shell script or command line interface. Here's the breakdown of the command:
- mysql: This is the command to start the MySQL interface in the command line.
- -e: This flag allows you to execute a MySQL statement directly from the command line without having to enter the MySQL environment.
- "CREATE DATABASE ${database_name};": This is the MySQL statement that is being executed. It is creating a new database with the name stored in the variable ${database_name}.
- ${password}: This is the password for the MySQL user who is executing the command.
So ultimately, this command is creating a new MySQL database with the name specified in the ${database_name} variable and provided password.
