And when you use -e you should have it after user and password so the SQL commands you want to execute comes after the -e.

That was a once off artifact of me doing it on this system after the root password has been set.

That was also the reason it did not work for me as I tried without the '

OK, so maybe this then:

sudo mysql -e "CREATE USER $DB_USER@localhost IDENTIFIED by '$DB_PASS';"
sudo mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $DB_NAME.* TO $DB_USER@localhost;"
sudo mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

I'm sure you know but you can also put more than one command in the execute string. ; is what separates the commands.

My guides are specifically wrote lik this to clearly separate the commands that are used for the people following my guides to see every thing they are doing.

right. Updating the guide. but half tempted to leave the single quotes everywhere it that causes no error in order to protect against spaces by others. Though I am using pwgen to do this.

Guide updated. I left the ' everywhere else.

Of note, I had to drop the DB_NAME to 16 characters because it broke it longer. Even though current mariadb should accept much longer database names according to my quick google on the subject.

It's kind of f*cked up to have spaces in user names and passwords. Personally I don't use something unless it's specifically needed but either way works.
