Hi Monks,

I am running a database utility and I am creating a database through a menu driven script. I am getting the following error

DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-secure-test' at line 1 at C:/Users/Sennovate/workspace/Perl/Automation/Sennovate/MySQL DB Creation/ssg-db-utility.pl line 79, <STDIN> line 5.

I am using Strawberry Perl 5.20.1

Here is my code snippet

sub create_database {
    print "Please enter the hostname:";
    chomp($hostname = <STDIN>);
    print "Please enter the name of the new MySQL database:";
    chomp($database = <STDIN>);
    $dsn = "dbi:$driver::$hostname:$port";
    
    print "Please type the MySQL root username:";
    chomp($username = <STDIN>);
    print "Please type the MySQL root password:";
    chomp($password = <STDIN>);

    $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $username, $password);
    $result = $dbh->do("create database $database");
    $dbh->do("use $database");

    if($result) {
        say "Database '$database' created successfully";
    } else {
        say "Database '$database' creation failed";
        exit;
    }    
}
