Database Creation
Having seen the overall layout of phpMyAdmin's panel, we are ready to create a
database and our first table, insert some data in it, and browse it. Before creating
a table, we must ensure that we have a database for which the MySQL server's
administrator has given us the
CREATE
privilege. Various possibilities exist:
•
The administrator has already created a database for us, and we see its name
in the left panel; we don't have the right to create an additional database.
We have the right to create databases from phpMyAdmin.
We are on a shared host, and the host provider has installed a general Web
interface (for example, Cpanel) to create MySQL databases and accounts.

Note that a configuration parameter,
$cfg['ShowCreateDb']
, controls the display of
the
Create new database
dialog. By default, it is set to
true
which shows this dialog.
No Privileges?
