MySQL 8.4 Reference Manual  /  ...  /  SHOW CREATE DATABASE Statement

15.7.7.7 SHOW CREATE DATABASE Statement

SHOW CREATE {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF NOT EXISTS] db_name

Shows the CREATE DATABASE statement that creates the named database. If the SHOW statement includes an IF NOT EXISTS clause, the output too includes such a clause. SHOW CREATE SCHEMA is a synonym for SHOW CREATE DATABASE.
