MySQL and mSQL

Name

Msql::createdb

Synopsis

$result = $db->createdb($database);

Msql::createdb takes as its argument the name of a database to create. It then sends the creation request to the mSQL server. The command is sent as the same user running the CGI program. Thus, to work in a CGI program, the program must be run as a user with the right to create a new database. The function returns -1 on failure and on success.

Example

use Msql;
my $db = Msql->connect;
my $my_new_database = 'mynewdata';
my $result = $db->createdb($my_new_database);
die "Database was not created!" if $result == -1;
print "$my_new_database has been created.\n";
