Overview

Use this interface to create, manage, and delete MySQL® databases and database users.

Notes:

• We recommend that you use the MySQL Database Wizard interface (cPanel >> Home >> Databases >> MySQL Database Wizard) to create your first database and user.

• A database name may contain a maximum of 64 characters.

• Due to the method that cPanel & WHM uses to store MySQL database names, each underscore character requires two characters of that limit.

• If you enable database prefixing, a database name may contain a maximum of 63 characters, which includes the database prefix and the underscore character. Each additional underscore requires another two characters of that limit.

• To enter information in an existing database, use the phpMyAdmin interface (cPanel >> Home >> Databases >> phpMyAdmin).

Important:

Do not use phpMyAdmin to create databases or database users.
