Create New Database - Capri Skin

 

Choose a Database Name that helps you remember what the database is for.  For example, enter "database1" if the database is intended to be used with a chat script.  The database name is always preceded by your username and an underscore.  If you chose "database1" for a name, the actual database name would be username_database1.

 

The Database Username is the login name for the database.  It may be the same as the Database Name.  In the above example, we chose a different login name (gary).  As with the Database Name, the Database Username is also preceded by your username and an underscore (npayge_gary in this case).

 

After you have selected the database name and username, enter a database password and click the "Create" button.
