Adding Information from a Database 13

TIPS

How many databases can I create on my server?

MySQL supports an unlimited number of databases,

so the limit depends on the amount of space you

have on your hard drive. Third-party Web hosting

companies often impose a limit of their own on

databases on their system.

What are the two databases that already exist?

A default MySQL installation includes two databases:

information_schema and mysql. The first,

information_schema, is a database in which the

server stores information about all of the other

databases on the server. The other, mysql, stores

information about the server itself.

● The confirmation page opens,

showing that the database

has been created.

4 Type a name for your
database.

5 Click Create.
