Create a database and associate it to a user - MySQL

Ndirangu Waweru — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 16:35:15 +0000

mysql -u root -p

Create the database you want your new user to be associated with:

CREATE DATABASE example_database;

Create the new user:

CREATE USER 'example_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Grant the new user access to the newly created database:

GRANT ALL ON example_database.* TO 'example_user'@'localhost';

mysql -u example_user -p

Check the databases under the new user:

show databases;

Build something awesome!

On Ubuntu 18.04:

sudo apt -y install php7.4 php7.4-zip php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml

laravel new demo works!
