SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is an international standard in querying and retrieving information from databases. MySQL is essentially an SQL server - it responds to requests for information that are written in SQL. To use a MySQL database, you must first create it, and then add one or more users to it.
Here are the steps:
- To access the MySQL Account Maintenance Menu, click on the words MySQL Databases on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
- Enter the name of the new database in the blank field next to Db:.
- Click on Add Db to create the database.
Troubleshooting: You need to create at least one database user and grant that user permission to use the new database. Refer to Creating a MySQL user and Grant a user's permissions to a MySQL database for more information.
