If you get an error 1044 (42000) when you try to run SQL commands in MySQL (which installed along XAMPP server) cmd prompt, then here's the solution:

1. Close your MySQL command prompt.

2. Open your cmd prompt (from Start menu -> run -> cmd) which will show: C:\Users\User>_

3. Go to MySQL.exe by Typing the following commands:

C:\Users\User>cd\ C:\>cd xampp C:\xampp>cd mysql C:\xxampp\mysql>cd bin C:\xampp\mysql\bin>mysql -u root

1. Now try creating a new database by typing:

   mysql> create database employee;
   

   if it shows:

   Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
   mysql>
   

   Then congrats ! You are good to go...
