NAME¶
mysql_install_db - initialize MySQL data directorySYNOPSIS¶
mysql_install_db [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
mysql_install_db initializes the MySQL data directory and creates the system tables that it contains, if they do not exist. mysql_install_db is a shell script and is available only on Unix platforms. (As of MySQL 5.6, mysql_install_db is a Perl script and can be used on any system with Perl installed.) To invoke mysql_install_db, use the following syntax:shell> mysql_install_db [options]
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql \ --basedir=/opt/mysql/mysql \ --datadir=/opt/mysql/mysql/data
•--help
Display a help message and exit.
•--basedir=dir_name
The path to the MySQL installation directory.
•--builddir=dir_name
For use with --srcdir and out-of-source builds. Set this to the location
of the directory where the built files reside.
•--cross-bootstrap
For internal use. This option is used for building system tables on one host
intended for another.
•--datadir=dir_name
The path to the MySQL data directory.
•--defaults-extra-file=file_name
Read this option file after the global option file but (on Unix) before the user
option file. If the file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, an error
occurs. file_name is interpreted relative to the current directory if
given as a relative path name rather than a full path name.
•--defaults-file=file_name
Use only the given option file. If the file does not exist or is otherwise
inaccessible, an error occurs. file_name is interpreted relative to the
current directory if given as a relative path name rather than a full path
name.
•--force
Cause mysql_install_db to run even if DNS does not work. Grant table
entries normally created using host names will use IP addresses instead.
•--ldata=dir_name
A synonym for --datadir.
•--no-defaults
Do not read any option files. If program startup fails due to reading unknown
options from an option file, --no-defaults can be used to prevent them
from being read.
•--rpm
For internal use. This option is used during the MySQL installation process for
install operations performed using RPM packages.
•--skip-name-resolve
Use IP addresses rather than host names when creating grant table entries. This
option can be useful if your DNS does not work.
•--srcdir=dir_name
For internal use. This option specifies the directory under which
mysql_install_db looks for support files such as the error message file
and the file for populating the help tables.
•--user=user_name
The system (login) user name to use for running mysqld. Files and
directories created by mysqld will be owned by this user. You must be
the system root user to use this option. By default, mysqld runs using
your current login name and files and directories that it creates will be
owned by you.
•--verbose
Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
•--windows
For internal use. This option is used for creating Windows distributions.
