hi

this is my first time to post here.

i am trying to install the db on my web site but have one basic problem,,

how do i create new database in mysql ?

[hapytran]

phpMyAdmin is the best choice. Download this tool and install on your Hosting or your localhost. Use this to create new databases.

i did it already because i have another db of php forum on the site,

now i have to create new db and i don't remember what i did few years ago

when i opened the other one. the version is phpMyAdmin 2.2.0

[hapytran]

I'm not sure about phpMyAdmin 2.2.0. But all above versions, you can create a new database on home page if you have privilege. Or simply paste this query in SQL window "CREATE DATABASE xxx". Replace "xxx" by your database name.

 

Note: You only can create a new database if you have privilege.

 

Hope it helps!

On a shared server you'll be unlikely to have the priviledges to create a new database using phpMyAdmin. You usually create the database from within the Web Hosting Control Panel.
