Symptoms

A task to create a database fails with the following output:

Last execution output   MySQL API error: Can't create database 'db1322308_newdb'; database exists.

Cause

The database server already hosts a database with the same name, as a result of incomplete actions in the past:

mysql> use db1322308_newdb;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql>

Verify that the database is not in use and delete it from the affected database server:

mysql> drop database db1322308_newdb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
