"How do I CREATE a database from within perl with MySQL?" I don't think you can... but you can run the mysql interface from the script. Actually I think that you can pipe a list of commands to mysql.

How do I CREATE a database from within perl with MySQL? Generally the first command you give for DBI will be a statement to connect to a db, but what if I have to have the db created first? This is for a script that will automate the installation of a set of 12 scripts, and sets up 6 tables, and I don't want to have to tell users to first have to run mysql, type in "create database blah", quit, and then run the script. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
