JDBC Tutorial - JDBC Create Database

The following code shows how to create a database in MySQL database by using JDBC connection.

The SQL used to create database is listed as follows.

CREATE DATABASE STUDENTS

The code loads the driver first and then makes a connection to the database.

Then it creates a Statement and issues the create database command.

Example

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
//from w w  w.jav a2s.  c  o  m
public class Main {
  static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
  static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/";

  static final String USER = "username";
  static final String PASS = "password";

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Connection conn = null;
    Statement stmt = null;

    Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);
    stmt = conn.createStatement();

    String sql = "CREATE DATABASE STUDENTS";
    stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
    System.out.println("Database created successfully...");

    stmt.close();
    conn.close();
  }
}
