Create new DB automatically in Java

[Richard Adler]

I am trying to create a new DB in MySQL using Java.
It is easy to create a new DB manually using MySQL admin tools.
However, I need to create one purely automatically.
When I try to open a Java Connection, the API call requires a DB name
as one of its parameters. Since the DB does not exist yet, I get an unknown database exception. No surprise, but I need to create a dummy
Connection that I can use to execute a Java Statement instance containing
the desired SQL Create Database command?


Is there a way to do this or is it necessary to create the database manually

Thanks
