Creating databases

Database Manager is installed with a default database that uses the same name as your domain name (with underbars replacing periods). For example, if your domain is mydomain.com, your default database will be mydomain_com. As you create more databases, the default name (with a trailing underbar) is used as a prefix for them, for example, mydomain_com_contacts. Once you have created a database, you can build the tables associated with it in phpMyAdmin.

To create a database:

  1. Open Database Manager by clicking its icon in the control panel.
  2. Click Create New Database. An input field appears.
  3. Enter the suffix part of the name.
  4. Click Add.
Note: To clear what you have entered in the field, click Clear instead of Add; to abandon creation and return to DBManager Home, click the Back button.

To delete a database:

  1. Click the radio button to the left of the database you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion
