Topic: Simple database creation guide (mysql)

Environment used for this simple guide.

Operating system: Gentoo Linux with 2.6 Kernel
PHP: 4.3.4
Webserver: Apache Version 2
Database: MySQL 4.0.16

I assume that you have the webserver installed, with php, and also have a working setup of mysql installed.

type mysql, then you should see this prompt: mysql>

mysql> CREATE DATABASE forum;

mysql> USE forum
Database changed

mysql> quit

This creates a database with the name "forum", you can of course change it to anything you like. I hope this just help a tiny bit smile Please reply if it was to any use of you. I'm not sure how you do it with other databases or in other operating systems, but i guess it's quite similar.
