Create Database

  1. Click "Database"
  2. Click "Add New Database"

Create User for a Database

Once you have created a database, you can add user for that database.

  1. Click " Add New Database User"
  2. Enter Database user name (user hard to remember name for security)
  3. Enter a password (remember to use very secure password.)

Administering the Database

After you have created a user for that database, the "DB WebAdmin" button will appear for the database.  Clicking this will open the  popular opensource software PhpMyAdmin.  From here, you can add tables, issue SQL command, etc.
