Chapter 11: Establishing a Connection and Poking Around

Overview

During the process of installing and testing MySQL in Chapter 1, you should have created a sample database as well as a sample table, and even inserted and selected some data. The next several chapters focus on making the same types of connections and queries, and using PHP scripts for the front end. In this chapter, you learn how to:

  • Connect to MySQL

  • List all databases on localhost

  • List all tables in a database

  • Create a database

  • Drop (delete) a database
