Create Database mydb;
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' to database 'mydb'
Reason for ERROR 1044 (42000)
If you are trying to create a database via the mysql or MariaDB prompt in Terminal and you get an error 1044 (4200), then the reason for this error is that the user that is logged-in does not have the required privileges to create a new database.
How to resolve ERROR 1044 (42000)
- Check what Grants the user has.
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user'@'localhost';
- If the user does not have Grants to create a database, and does need it, it can be provided using the below command,
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db_name.* TO 'user'@'localhost';
If you are not the admin of the database, the best is to reach out to your database administrator (DBA)
The DBA will need to check the following.
