ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database

Question

I can\'t seem to login to my tutorial database development environment:

Ayman$ mysql -u blog -p blog_development
Enter password: 
ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown da         


        

Answer 1

Its a common error which happens when we try to access a database which doesn't exist. So create the database using

CREATE DATABASE blog_development;

The error commonly occours when we have dropped the database using

DROP DATABASE blog_development;

and then try to access the database.
