NAME
createdb -- create a new MySQL database
SYNOPSIS
createdb [-d dbname] [-p port] [-s socket] datadir
DESCRIPTION
createdb configures and creates a new MySQL database below
datadir. Following options are supported:
- -d dbname
-
By default, two databases are created, mysql with meta-informations,
and main for the application database. If dbname is provided,
it replaces main. Note that mysql must not be given to avoid
a conflict with the meta database.
- -p port
-
This option allows to specify the port the database server should
listen to. By default, a port is selected by random and stored within
datadir/setenv.
- -s socket
-
This option allows to specify a named socket the database server
should listen to. By default this is datadir/socket.
