how to check if a database has been created

[davidklonski]

Hello

Is it possible to test if a certain database has been created using SQL?
if so, how can it be done?
The query is obvisouly on the MySQL level and not on a certain database.

thanks

"show databases;"
shows you all the databases you are aloud to see...

"show tables from DATABASENAME;"
shows you all the tables in the selected database.
