According to the Django documentation:

If you’re using PostgreSQL or MySQL, make sure you’ve created a database by this point. Do that with “CREATE DATABASE database_name;” within your database’s interactive prompt.

If you’re using SQLite, you don’t need to create anything beforehand - the database file will be created automatically when it is needed.

So, you need to create the database first to have syncdb load the data.

To create the database, run the mysql program. This gives you a command prompt for interacting with your SQL database. Then you run...

create database DemoApp;

For more info on doing this, see the MySQL tutorial on Connecting and Disconnecting from the Server and Creating and Selecting a Database.
