Activity 7: Creating a Database and Tables in MySQL with Dummy Data

Step 1: Open MySQL Command Line

Open your terminal or command prompt.
Log in to MySQL with your credentials:
```
 mysql -u your_username -p
```

Step 2: Create Database

Create a new database named denormalized_db:
```
 CREATE DATABASE denormalized_db;
```
Use the newly created database:
```
 USE denormalized_db;
```

Review Output:
- Each command will display the contents of the respective table, allowing you to verify that the dummy data has been inserted successfully.

Exit MySQL

Exit Command:

When you are done, exit the MySQL command line by typing:
```
  EXIT;
```

Backup the database if needed, using `mysqldump` or similar tools for future reference.

1: Open Your Command Line Interface

Windows: Use Command Prompt (cmd).
Linux/Mac: Use Terminal

2: Locate Your MySQL Bin Directory (if necessary)

Ensure that the mysqldump command is accessible. If it's not in your system PATH, you may need to navigate to the MySQL bin directory where mysqldump is located. This is often in a directory like:
- Windows: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server X.X\bin
- Linux: Typically available directly in the terminal.

Log into MySQL

It's a good practice to log into MySQL to check if your database exists before creating a backup.
```
  mysql -u your_username -p
```
Enter your password when prompted.

Since PowerShell does not automatically recognize commands in the current directory unless you explicitly tell it to look there. You need to use .\ before the command to specify that you're running the mysql executable from the current directory.

Like this:

  .\mysql -u monettenicolas069@gmail.com -p

Identify the Database You Want to Back Up

List all databases to identify the one you want to back up:
```
  SHOW DATABASES;
```

Exit MySQL

Type exit or quit to leave the MySQL shell:
```
  exit;
```

Use mysqldump to Back Up the Database

Now, use the mysqldump command to create a backup of your desired database.
The syntax is as follows:
```
  mysqldump -u your_username -p denormalized_db > backup_file.sql
```
Enter Your Password

After executing the command, you’ll be prompted to enter your MySQL password

Similar to the previous issue, PowerShell does not recognize commands in the current directory unless you explicitly reference them. You need to use .\ to run mysqldump from the current directory.

Replace your_username with your MySQL username.
Replace your_database_name with the name of the database you want to back up.
Replace backup_file.sql with the desired name of your backup file.

Verify the Backup

Check that the backup file was created successfully:
- On Windows, navigate to the directory where you ran the command and look for mydatabase_backup.sql.
- On Linux/Mac, you can list files in the current directory with:

    ls -l

The ls -l command is typically used in Linux or macOS environments, while PowerShell uses Get-ChildItem (aliased as ls or dir). However, the -l option is not valid in PowerShell, which is why you're getting the error.

To list the contents of the directory in PowerShell, simply use:

ls

Restore the Backup (if needed)

If you ever need to restore the backup, you can do so with the following command:
```
  mysql -u your_username -p your_database_name < backup_file.sql
```

Verify the Backup File:
- Navigate to the directory where the backup was created (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin).
- Ensure that backup_denormalizedb.sql is present in this directory.
- If you'd like to move the backup file to another location, you can manually copy and paste it or use the command line to move it to a safer directory.
View the Backup File Contents (Optional):
- You can open the backup_denormalizedb.sql file in a text editor (like Notepad or VSCode) to review the SQL dump. It should contain SQL statements that can be used to recreate the denormalized_db database.

Conclusion

Successfully created my MySQL database named denormalized_db, defined five tables, and inserted dummy data.
