get start with mysql

Post by php12342005 »

hi all,
i need to get start with mysql database which is in my hosting.

my questions are:
1. is there a tool which allows us to create tables, fields graphically (similar to Microsoft Access db)? if yes, please give me comments and links for getting start.

2. if not, do we have to create tables, fields by SQL? is there other easier ways?

thanks

Most likely your host as phpMyAdmin installed by default.
It is exackly what you need.

Ask your host for the link, or you can access it via Cpanel if you have that installed by clicking on MySql Databases >> phpMyAdmin.

Hi Phenom,
I find the tool as u said - it doesn't look very nice, but it is much better than using SQL.

thx

Perhaps ask your host to upgrade to the layout version.
Seems much more user friendly.
