SQL Error #1007 - mysql

Question

I have this #1007 error with my SQL code. When I try to import into my database it gives me this #1007 error. The data base is called company. I'm new to SQL and it would be good if someone could help me out. Thanks
CREATE DATABASE company;
CREATE TABLE login(
id int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
password varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

Answer 1

It looks like the database "company" may already exist. If you look at the link provided by #Marc B, the error "#1007" corresponds to:
"Error: 1007 SQLSTATE: HY000 (ER_DB_CREATE_EXISTS)
Message: Can't create database '%s'; database exists
An attempt to create a database failed because the database already exists.
Drop the database first if you really want to replace an existing database, or add an IF NOT EXISTS clause to the CREATE DATABASE statement if to retain an existing database without having the statement produce an error."
Check your schema to make sure that you don't already have a database called "company" created.
Perhaps you are only trying to create the table "login", whereas you would simply need the code:
CREATE TABLE login(
id int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
password varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
making sure you create this table in the already existing "company" database.

Answer 2

You are trying to create a database that has already been created.

Answer 3

Staring at your two commands, you could do CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
you also need to set default database before creating the table
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS company;
USE company
CREATE TABLE login (
id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
password varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
or you could put the DB name before the table name
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS company;
CREATE TABLE company.login (
id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
password varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
