You would need special privilege to create or to delete a MySQL database. So
assuming you have access to root user, you can create any database using mysql
mysqladmin binary.

Be careful while deleting any database because it will lose your all the data
available in your database.
Here is an example to delete a database created in previous chapter:
[root@host]# mysqladmin -u root -p drop TUTORIALS
Enter password:******
This will give you a warning and it will confirm if you really want to delete
this database or not.
Dropping the database is potentially a very bad thing to do.
Any data stored in the database will be destroyed.
