In the previous chapter ([[Creating New Databases and Tables with MySQL Administrator]]) we created a new database and table using a graphical tool that did not rquire us to use any SQL commands. In this chapter we will learn how to create new databases and tables by issuing SQL commands using the ''mysql'' client.
This chapter assumes that the ''mysql'' tool is running and connected to the the MySQL database server. If this is not the case and you are unsure as to how to achieve this refer to [[The mysql Command-Line Tool]] chapter.Alternatively, the SQL commands outlined in that chapter may be executed in the [[The MySQL Query Browser | MySQL Query Browser]]
