Might be a case of the blind leading the blind here (list folks: please
correct me if I'm way off base ...)
I believe that one way to do this would be to create a file with any SQL
commands you want to run and then redirect it to mysql via back ticks:
`mysql -uroot < sql_command_file`;
Normally, mysql expects a table listed after -uroot, but it might work if
sql_command_file has 'create database <db name here>' in it.
