CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `demodb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 ;

下面是一个bash函数，用于检查数据库是否存在:

function does_db_exist {
  local db="${1}"

  local output=$(mysql -s -N -e "SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE schema_name = '${db}'" information_schema)
  if [[ -z "${output}" ]]; then
    return 1 # does not exist
  else
    return 0 # exists
  fi
}           

另一种选择是尝试使用数据库。注意，这也检查权限:

if mysql "${db}" >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
then
  echo "${db} exists (and I have permission to access it)"
else
  echo "${db} does not exist (or I do not have permission to access it)"
fi

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'DbName'

1 -存在，0 -不存在

Golang解决方案

创建一个测试包并添加:

import "database/sql"

// testing database creation
func TestCreate(t *testing.T){
    Createdb("*Testdb") // This just calls the **sql.DB obect *Testdb 
    db,err := sql.Open("mysql", "root:root@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/*Testdb")
    if err != nil{
        panic(err)
    }
    defer db.Close()
    _, err = db.Exec("USE *Testdb")
    if err != nil{
        t.Error("Database not Created")
    }

} 

一个非常简单的bash一行代码:

mysqlshow | grep dbname

另一个php解决方案，但与PDO:

<?php
try {
   $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=dbname', 'root', 'password', [ PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION ]);
   echo 'table dbname exists...';
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
   die('dbname not found...');
}
