mariadb-create-database

MariaDB-specific syntax and behavior for databases — CREATE DATABASE / CREATE SCHEMA (exact synonyms), the OR REPLACE data-loss footgun vs IF NOT EXISTS, CHARACTER SET / COLLATE / COMMENT specifications and the utf8mb4 default-charset change, ALTER DATABASE (charset/collate/comment + UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME), DROP DATABASE, and the absence of a RENAME DATABASE statement. Use when writing, generating, or reviewing CREATE DATABASE / ALTER DATABASE / DROP DATABASE statements that target MariaDB.
