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 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.
