Ankush,

I know this command to create database at the mysql > prompt, but can
you please let me know why  mysqladmin -u root -p create kaushal
doesnot work
I am able to login to MySQL server using

[root at bde root]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 25 to server version: 3.23.54

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>

But why am I not able to create database at the root # prompt using
mysqladmin command

Do let me know if you want more info on this

Thanks

Kaushal
