RE: [PHP-WIN] Newbie Question: Creating database

I think it will suit you well, to get (and install) the 'phpMyAdmin' package. It will simplify the aspect of creating and maintaining the database, while you learn the ins-and-outs of MySQL. You may want to invest some time in reading and learning the MySQL documentation. Especially the part where the GRANT instruction is covered. In a nutshell, you want to: CREATE the database for your user. GRANT the particular user, with rights over the database. Then, let him/her do with it as they please. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jack Cazes [mailto:jack@dscope.com] > Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 10:53 AM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] Newbie Question: Creating database > > > I have windows 2000 server with PHP 4.1.0 and Mysql.
