How to create a database from shell command?

Question

I\'m looking for something like createdb in PostgreSQL or any other solution that would allow me to create database with a help of a shell command. Any hints?

Answer 1

mysqladmin -u$USER -p$PASSWORD create $DB_NAME

Replace above variables and you are good to go with this oneliner. $USER is the username, $PASSWORD is the password and $DB_NAME is the name of the database.
