Question

I want to create a database for a particular (existing) user in MySQL. How do I do that ?

What i tried –

CREATE USER 'myuser' @'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
CREATE DATABASE myuser.myDatabase;

The second line is wrong. I cannot find the proper syntax.

Please tell me my mistake.

Answer 1

when i create a user named test and create a db named test in phpmyadmin
it runs:

CREATE USER 'test'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY  '***';

GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO  'test'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY  '***' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS  `test` ;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON  `test` . * TO  'test'@'localhost';

this may help you.
