create database

link

I always forget the MySQL create database with UTF8 character set syntax, so here it is:

CREATE DATABASE `mydb` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
GRANTALLON`mydb`.*TO`username`@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Alternatively, you can use ‘CREATE SCHEMA’ instead of ‘CREATE DATABASE’:

CREATESCHEMA`mydb` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
GRANTALLON`mydb`.*TO`username`@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
