Operation on MySQL® Databases

Overview
======================================================
-Path :- cPanel >> Home >> Databases >> MySQL Database Wizard

Use this interface to create, manage, and delete MySQL® databases and database users.

A database name may contain a maximum of 64 characters.

Due to the method that cPanel & WHM uses to store MySQL database names, each underscore character requires two characters of that limit.

If you enable database prefixing, a database name may contain a maximum of 63 characters, which includes the database prefix and the underscore character. Each additional underscore requires another two characters of that limit.

To create a database, perform the following steps:

1)In the New Database text box, enter a name for the database.
