title: MySQL: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
body: <p>I just installed MySQL on my computer and when I try to create a database from the MySQL shell, I get this error:</p>
  <pre><code>MySQL  JS &gt; CREATE DATABASE databasename;
  SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
  </code></pre>
  <p>Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there a problem with the installation of MySQL?</p>
