For this, you can use stored procedure. Let us create a table dynamically with two columns i.e. StudentId as int, whereas StudentName as varchar −
mysql> DELIMITER $$ mysql> CREATE PROCEDURE creatingDynamicTableDemo(yourTableName VARCHAR(200)) -> BEGIN -> SET @name = yourTableName; -> SET @st = CONCAT(' '> CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `' , @name, '` ( '> `StudentId` int UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, '> `StudentName` varchar(20) NOT NULL, '> PRIMARY KEY (`StudentId`) '> ) '> '); -> PREPARE myStatement FROM @st; -> EXECUTE myStatement; -> DEALLOCATE PREPARE myStatement; -> END $$ Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec) mysql> DELIMITER ;
Above, we have set the StudentId as PRIMARY KEY.
Call stored procedure with the help of CALL command −
mysql> call creatingDynamicTableDemo('DemoTable'); Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.65 sec)
Now you can check the description of the table −
mysql> desc DemoTable;
Output
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | StudentId | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | StudentName | varchar(20) | NO | | NULL | | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
