To create a new MySQL user from the command line and use it in Visual Studio Code

To create a new MySQL user from the command line and use it in Visual Studio Code, follow these steps:

1. Open the command prompt or terminal.

2. Log in to MySQL as the root user using the following command:

You will be prompted to enter the root user's password.

3. Once logged in, run the following SQL query to create a new user:

Replace 'new_user' with the desired username and 'password' with the desired password for the user.

4. Grant necessary privileges to the new user. For example, if you want to grant all privileges to the user, you can use the following query:

Alternatively, you can grant specific privileges based on your requirements.

5. Flush the privileges to update the changes:

6. Exit the MySQL prompt:

Now that you have created the new user, you can use it in Visual Studio Code:

1. Open Visual Studio Code.

2. Install the MySQL extension if you haven't done so already. You can find it in the Visual Studio Code marketplace.

3. Configure the MySQL extension by specifying the new user's credentials. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` (or `Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS) to open the Command Palette, and search for "MySQL: Connect" to set up the connection. Enter the necessary details, including the host, port, username (new_user), password, and database name.

4. Once the connection is established, you can start writing SQL queries, managing databases, and accessing the MySQL database from within Visual Studio Code using the new user credentials.

Remember to replace 'new_user' with the actual username you created and 'password' with the password you set for that user.
