Create Database

Easily create a new MySQL database in just a few clicks. Databases are essential for storing, organizing, and retrieving data for your applications and websites.

Navigate to OpenPanel > MySQL > Create Database:

1. Enter a Database Name
   Type your desired name into the input field. Make sure the name is unique and follows MySQL naming rules (e.g., avoid spaces or special characters).

2. Generate a Random Name (Optional)
   If you're unsure about a name, click the button next to the input field to automatically generate a secure and unique database name.

3. Click 'Create Database'
   Once the name is entered or generated, click the Create Database button to initialize your new MySQL database.

Best Practices​

• Use short and descriptive names (e.g., app_data, wordpress_db).
• Avoid using uppercase letters, spaces, or special characters.
• Make sure the database name is meaningful for easy identification later.
