# [[Python MySQL Create Database]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
The `mysql.connector` module lets Python execute any SQL statement via a cursor object — creating a database is just `mycursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE ...")`, no special API beyond raw SQL execution. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`mysql.connector.connect()`** — opens a connection given host/user/password (and optionally database). [S1]
- **`mydb.cursor()`** — creates a cursor object used to execute SQL statements. [S1]
- **`mycursor.execute(sql)`** — runs a raw SQL statement, e.g. `"CREATE DATABASE mydatabase"`. [S1]
- **Checking existence** — `execute("SHOW DATABASES")` then iterate the cursor to list all databases. [S1]
- **Connect directly to a database** — pass `database="mydatabase"` to `connect()`; errors if it doesn't exist. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Create a database: `mycursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE mydatabase")`. [S1]
- List databases: `mycursor.execute("SHOW DATABASES"); for x in mycursor: print(x)`. [S1]
- Connect to a specific database: `mysql.connector.connect(host=..., user=..., password=..., database="mydatabase")`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 이 챕터에서 정의한 connect/cursor/execute 패턴이 이후 모든 Python MySQL 챕터에서 반복 재사용된다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Create a database via mysql.connector (Python):
```python
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
    host="localhost", user="yourusername", password="yourpassword"
)
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE mydatabase")
```
