Creating a Database

Once MySQL is installed, the first step is to create a database. Here's a simple example:

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;

Creating a Table

After creating a database, you can create tables to store your data. Here's an example of creating a table named users:

CREATE TABLE users (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    username VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
);

Inserting Data

To insert data into a table, you can use the INSERT INTO statement. For example:

INSERT INTO users (username, email) VALUES ('john_doe', 'john@example.com');

Querying Data

To retrieve data from a table, you can use the SELECT statement. Here's an example:

SELECT * FROM users;
