MySQL C＃Winform-从转储文件（localhost）创建新数据库

Question

I have a problem I need to solve, but not know how exactly. I have a WinForms application (C#) which connects to an online MySQL server - no problem there. In this application I have an option to make database backups (basically I dump this database to a local file on a computer).

I would like to locally "open" this backup on client's computer (to check some old data) - I don't want to make database restore on my server, because database must still be in use for other users. I want to make clean install of MySQL on a local computer and connect to it trough localhost (like I do for testing ), but I do not have physical access to that computer. I can send MySQL installer to my client, but how to go about automatically creating user with password and database from my dump file?

I know how to create a new database if it doesn't exist, but how to do it if it's clean install of MySQL server - no user and password yet.

string connStr = "server=localhost;user=root;port=3306;password=????;";
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(connStr))
using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
{
    conn.Open();
    cmd.CommandText = "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `hello`;";
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Any help and direction is appreciated.

Regards!

I don't know whether I understand your problem. However,if you install a new Mysql ，you can use root user through no database. Anyway, one thing you need to know,Connect database must has user and password for mysql or sqlserver .

You may need to be more concise description of your problem.
