JDBC, MySQL

[Chaster]

Hi everyone,

well, my problem would be:There is a database server which contains no databases. So there is nothing to connect to (as it is needed by the DriverManager.getConnection instruction). How can I create a new database under these circumstances?

Thanks,

Chaster

With installation of MySQL server by default you get these databases mysql and information_schema (as long admin did not remove them). Simply use them in connection string and then execute create database command like in this example

try logging into your database

>mysql -u root -p [whatever_your_password]

Once you're in, just do this:

> create database [your_database_name]

Let me know if you get stuck, I'll try to help.
