Some MySQL handy oneliners:

  • List all users from running instance:
SELECT User, Host, Password FROM mysql.user;
  • Create new user called newuser
CREATE USER newuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'superstrongpassword';
  • Creat new UTF-8 database called mydatabase (at time of writing, 20190214, these settings seem to be the best practice for UTF-8 settings, YMMV, update if needed)
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
