Question

Is it possible to create a MySQL database from Java?

I have only seen connection URLs examples like this where the database name is specified in the URL:

String url='jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test';  Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( url, 'cb0', 'xxx' ); 

How can I create a MySQL database when I only have a login name and password?

The database isn’t required in the jdbc connection, so you can do something like recommended at http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?39,99321,102211#msg-102211 and http://marc.info/?l=mysql-java&m=104508605511590&w=2:

Conn = DriverManager.getConnection ('jdbc:mysql://localhost/?user=root&password=rootpassword');  s=Conn.createStatement(); int Result=s.executeUpdate('CREATE DATABASE databasename');
