Create mysql database and user in bash script

Question

This seems like it should be simple and I swear this code has worked for months but it's not working now. I'm sure I'm just overly tired but I would appreciate a knowing nudge.

# create random password
PASSWDDB="$(openssl rand -base64 12)"

# replace "-" with "_" for database username
MAINDB=${USER_NAME//[^a-zA-Z0-9]/_}

# create database and user
mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE $MAINDB"
mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON $MAINDB.* TO $MAINDB@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$PASSWDDB!'"

MAINDB is supplied previously in the script. What I end up with is a database, a user, and proper permissions and the user has a password - it's just not the password defined in $PASSWORDDB.

MariaDB 10.0.22 Ubuntu 14.04

Answer 1

mysql -uroot -p$*PASSWORD_OF_MYSQL_ROOT_USER* -e "CREATE DATABASE $MAINDB"
mysql -uroot -p$*PASSWORD_OF_MYSQL_ROOT_USER* -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON $MAINDB.* TO $MAINDB@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$PASSWDDB!'"

This will work for you.

This is what I use: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saadismail/useful-bash-scripts/master/db.sh

In your case you can use this:

# create random password
PASSWDDB="$(openssl rand -base64 12)"

# replace "-" with "_" for database username
MAINDB=${USER_NAME//[^a-zA-Z0-9]/_}

# If /root/.my.cnf exists then it won't ask for root password
if [ -f /root/.my.cnf ]; then

    mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE ${MAINDB} /*\!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */;"
    mysql -e "CREATE USER ${MAINDB}@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '${PASSWDDB}';"
    mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ${MAINDB}.* TO '${MAINDB}'@'localhost';"
    mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

# If /root/.my.cnf doesn't exist then it'll ask for root password   
else
    echo "Please enter root user MySQL password!"
    echo "Note: password will be hidden when typing"
    read -sp rootpasswd
    mysql -uroot -p${rootpasswd} -e "CREATE DATABASE ${MAINDB} /*\!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */;"
    mysql -uroot -p${rootpasswd} -e "CREATE USER ${MAINDB}@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '${PASSWDDB}';"
    mysql -uroot -p${rootpasswd} -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ${MAINDB}.* TO '${MAINDB}'@'localhost';"
    mysql -uroot -p${rootpasswd} -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
fi

Answer 4

You could use heredoc to improve the lisibility of your SQL:

# create random password
PASSWDDB="$(openssl rand -base64 12)"

# replace "-" with "_" for database username
MAINDB=${USER_NAME//[^a-zA-Z0-9]/_}

mysql -u root -p<<MYSQL_SCRIPT
CREATE DATABASE $MAINDB;

CREATE DATABASE ${MAINDB} /*\!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */;
CREATE USER ${MAINDB}@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '${PASSWDDB}';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ${MAINDB}.* TO '${MAINDB}'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
