creating DB's in mySQL

I would like to create an applet wich retrieves information from a mySQL-database.

I downloaded mySQL and a class IV driver, but I can't figure out how to create a database.

Could anyone help me ?

I dont know about mySQL and class IV driver. but i hope the SQL statement is common for
all database and drivers.

> how to create a database



CREATE DATABASE Test
ON (NAME = TestData, // Logical Name of the Database
FILENAME = 'e:\mssql7\data\TestData.mdf', // Physical file name
SIZE = 100MB,
MAXSIZE = 200,
FILEGROWTH = 20)





> retrieves information from a mySQL-database

You have to run a specific System Stored Procedures to get the information about the database.
( Some are : sp_tables , sp_columns , ... )

In java , do the following to call the stored procedure.



CallableStatement tCallableStatement = tDBConnection.prepareCall( "sp_table" );
ResultSet tResultSet = tCallableStatement.executeQuery();





Now manipulate with the ResultSet object to get the information about the tables in
a particular database.

Hi Poochi - thanks for responding !

I just wondered - the 'CREATE DATABASE Test...' part of the code you send me is not supposed to be type into a java-app, but rather in a SQL-program, right ?

Yes , it's a SQL Statement. You can use it in java .. Try like this..



String SQLString = "CREATE DATABASE ...... "
Statement tStatement = m_tDBConnection.createStatement();
tStatement.executeUpdate( SQLString );
tStatement.close();
