could you guys please explain for me HOW these databases ARE CREATED :

  • mysql
  • phpmyadmin
  • information_schema
  • performance_schema

I know it’s a novice question, I might GUESS the answer for some of them, for example “the reason phpmyadmin database is created” IS because I installed phpmyadmin and this database was created alongside . That’s not for sure, so I just need some clarification.

Thank you !

    These are the standard set of databases shown when you execute SHOW DATABASES on a clean MySQL install.

    • mysql – this is created at install of the MySQL server, either by the package management system of your operating system or the script provided as part of the MySQL package
    • information_schema – meta database, it does not exist on the disk
    • performance_schema – meta database, but it does store some files on the disk

    Any other databases are user/application created.
