how do I create a database??

I'm new and need help thank you!!

You need to sign into member operations and 'order' your database by going to the MySQL tab. There you will name your database. The powweb staff will see the submitted request and actually create the database for you. Users are not allowed to create the database.

Once the database is created they should email you that it is done. Once that happens you can begin working with it creating tables and the like.

Actually to sign on to your first Mysql the link is found at the bottom of the page in the Billing/Plan tab.

First one free, each additional one is $10.00 USD

So we can order additional databases?

Actually yes you can order additional databases, at $10 each.

When I joined powweb the first one cost $10 as well, I wasn't aware of the plan change to provide the first at no charge but I'm happy to see it happen to encourage more people to use the service.

Depending on what you want to do, and the size of the data you anticipate storing, you may not need the added expense of ordering more than one database. You or your applications create the tables used within the database and so you can have many applications using the same database as long as they don't all use the same table names.

I have one database but many applications that compose my site, each application has it's own set of table names that resides in the one database.

Hope this helps.
