How to install a Mysql database in cPanel?

[texasgamer]

I am a complete noob on mysql databases or how to install one. Is there a simple and easy to understand tutorial on how to install a mysql database in cpanel?
thanks

I suppose you want to say "create" instead of "install".

- in cpanel go to "MySQL® Databases"
- Create database
- Create User
- Add User to Database

All steps are needed.

Then you can use phpMyAdmin to create/edit tables.

.. and please only give the user the privileges they need. If your site users will only need to look up information (select), don't give them things like update, alter, create, insert, delete, drop ...

hey here's a video

I have used mysql for scripts that i bought and the thing i always have to remember for the database name and user name is that it puts my cpanel name in front of it and underscore the database name and username. That's the info I end up using in the config.php file that i have to manipulate.

I am a total novice for mysql by I use them with scripts that i buy,

hope this helps,
