What exactly did you enter? The square brackets (the "[" and "]" characters) denote an optional part of the statement. It means you can enter either: CREATE DATABASE db_anyname or CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS db_anyname The first statement will give an error if the database allready exists, the second will not. Both statements will create a database if it does not allready exist. -- Roger -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
