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. Only letters, numbers, and underscores are allowed, and the name must be between 1 and 63 characters long.

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