Prompt Title: Creating a database in already running docker mysql contianer

To create a new database in the MySQL Docker container that you've already started with the given command, you can follow these steps:

1. Access the MySQL Container: You need to access the MySQL container to interact with the MySQL server and create a new database. You can do this using the docker exec command.

bashCopy code
docker exec -it mysql bash

This command will open a Bash shell inside the running MySQL container.

2. Login to MySQL: Once you're inside the container, you can log in to MySQL using the mysql command-line client.

bashCopy code
mysql -u root -p

Enter the MySQL root password (dummypassword in your case) when prompted.

3. Create a New Database: After logging in, you can create a new database using the CREATE DATABASE SQL command. Replace new_database_name with the name you want to give to your new database.

sqlCopy code
CREATE DATABASE new_database_name;

4. Verify Creation: You can verify that the database has been created successfully by listing all databases.

sqlCopy code
SHOW DATABASES;

You should see your newly created database in the list.

5. Exit MySQL and Container: After you have created the new database, you can exit from the MySQL prompt and then exit from the container's shell.

sqlCopy code
exit
exit

Now you've successfully created a new database named new_database_name within your MySQL Docker container. You can use this database for your applications as needed.
