Hi, for DDL i meant "Data Definition Language".

First create an ADODB connection to the MySql server (dim Db as new ADODB.Connection), then open it with an appropiate connection string (db.open ""), then try to execute "CREATE DATABASE ..." using the MySql required syntax, if you get an error while doing this then you should search some information about MySql regarding script executing from command line and try to achive your goal with the shell statement.
