Question

I want to create database in mysql I installed MySQL 5.6 in windows 8, During installation installer never asked me username or password. When I'm executing command " create database ivs; " it gives me following error:

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'ivs' what can I do now?

Answer 1

You have use the default User and not root . The default User dosent have enough right to Create Databases. Start the Client with root User

c:> mysql -uroot

Answer 2

After great discussion with @Bernd Buffen I got solution for my problem, when I use 'create database ivs' I actually not logged in with 'root' user (I'm logged in with guest user) so to change this to root I use following command:

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6\\bin>mysql -uroot and then I use

 mysql> create database ivs; to create database named 'ivs'
