# mysql\_database
|
||
|
|
||
|
The ``mysql_database`` resource creates and manages a database on a MySQL
|
||
|
server.
|
||
|
|
||
|
~> **Caution:** The ``mysql_database`` resource can completely delete your
|
||
|
database just as easily as it can create it. To avoid costly accidents,
|
||
|
consider setting
|
||
|
[``prevent_destroy``](/docs/configuration/resources.html#prevent_destroy)
|
||
|
on your database resources as an extra safety measure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Example Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
resource "mysql_database" "app" {
|
||
|
name = "my_awesome_app"
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Argument Reference
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following arguments are supported:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `name` - (Required) The name of the database. This must be unique within
|
||
|
a given MySQL server and may or may not be case-sensitive depending on
|
||
|
the operating system on which the MySQL server is running.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `default_character_set` - (Optional) The default character set to use when
|
||
|
a table is created without specifying an explicit character set. Defaults
|
||
|
to "utf8".
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `default_collation` - (Optional) The default collation to use when a table
|
||
|
is created without specifying an explicit collation. Defaults to
|
||
|
``utf8_general_ci``. Each character set has its own set of collations, so
|
||
|
changing the character set requires also changing the collation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that the defaults for character set and collation above do not respect
|
||
|
any defaults set on the MySQL server, so that the configuration can be set
|
||
|
appropriately even though Terraform cannot see the server-level defaults. If
|
||
|
you wish to use the server's defaults you must consult the server's
|
||
|
configuration and then set the ``default_character_set`` and
|
||
|
``default_collation`` to match.
|
||
