In short: Yes.
ActiveRecord, the gem which is also a component of Ruby on Rails does this with it's migrations feature.
It could be a lot to learn to use it separately from Rails, but it is certainly possible and people do it.
It is also fairly database agnostic, but use with MySQL is pretty well google-able...

I hope you might have heard about 'make', which is a unix utility for
running tasks. Rake is its hip cousin in the sense, it can do
practically anything that "make" can do(and hence yes you can create
databases and what not) and much more.

There are couple of excellent docs available about rake:

And if you feel fine then:
