\nLaunch MySQL Workbench.\nOn the left pane of the welcome window, choose a database to connect to under \"Open Connection to Start Querying\".\nThe query window will open. On its left pane, there is a section titled \"Object Browser\", which shows the list of databases. (Side note: The terms \"schema\" and \"database\" are synonymous in this program.)\nRight-click on one of the existing databases and click \"Create Schema...\". This will launch a wizard that will help you create a database. \n\n\nIf you'd prefer to do it in SQL, enter this query into the query window:\n\nCREATE SCHEMA Test\n\n\nPress CTRL + Enter to submit it, and you should see confirmation in the output pane underneath the query window. You'll have to right-click on an existing schema in the Object panel and click \"Refresh All\" to see it show up, though.",

If the create new schema icon is disabled in the workbench, it means that your MySQL service is not running.\n\nPlease check if your MySQL service is running in the task manager.\n",

This answer is for Ubuntu users looking for a solution without writing SQL queries.\n\nThe following is the initial screen you'll get after opening it\n\n\n\nIn the top right, where it says Administration, click in the arrow to the right\n\n\n\nThis will show Schema (instead of Administration) and it's possible to see a sys database.\n\n\n\nRight click in the grey area after functions and click Create Schema...\n\n\n\nThis will open the following where I'm creating a table named StackOverflow_db\n\n\n\nClicking in the bottom right button that says \"Apply\",\n\n\n\nAnd in this new view click in \"Apply\" too. In the end you'll get a database called StackOverflow_db\n\n",
