     9  # mysql\_database
    10  
    11  The ``mysql_database`` resource creates and manages a database on a MySQL
    12  server.
    13  
    14  ~> **Caution:** The ``mysql_database`` resource can completely delete your
    15  database just as easily as it can create it. To avoid costly accidents,
    16  consider setting
    17  [``prevent_destroy``](/docs/configuration/resources.html#prevent_destroy)
    18  on your database resources as an extra safety measure.
    19  
    20  ## Example Usage
    21  
    22  ```
    23  resource "mysql_database" "app" {
    24      name = "my_awesome_app"
    25  }
    26  ```
    27  
    28  ## Argument Reference
    29  
    30  The following arguments are supported:
    31  
    32  * `name` - (Required) The name of the database. This must be unique within
    33    a given MySQL server and may or may not be case-sensitive depending on
    34    the operating system on which the MySQL server is running.
    35  
    36  * `default_character_set` - (Optional) The default character set to use when
    37    a table is created without specifying an explicit character set. Defaults
    38    to "utf8".
    39  
    40  * `default_collation` - (Optional) The default collation to use when a table
    41    is created without specifying an explicit collation. Defaults to
    42    ``utf8_general_ci``. Each character set has its own set of collations, so
    43    changing the character set requires also changing the collation.
    44  
    45  Note that the defaults for character set and collation above do not respect
    46  any defaults set on the MySQL server, so that the configuration can be set
    47  appropriately even though Terraform cannot see the server-level defaults. If
    48  you wish to use the server's defaults you must consult the server's
    49  configuration and then set the ``default_character_set`` and
    50  ``default_collation`` to match.
