Using the functions
A nice big list of how to use the phpmyadmin database tool's functions

Adding a new database
This is the most easiest thing to do, on the drop down box on the left hand frame, there is a list of databases, if there are no databes then it will read just (databases)... either way if there are any in the list or not you will need that to be there so if not already make that be selected. then to the right, the main window you will get a field to fill out this is the name of your new database all you need to do here is type in trhe name you want for your database and click create.




Adding a new table to a database
This can be achieved one of two ways, the sql or the operations button

SQL - you use this is you are installing a mod onto your phpbb forum and manualy need to edit the database,

To do this just copy the lines that are bellow line that looks like this in the mod instalation you can click ((here)not done) for my guide on installing mods.
*******************SQL************************(thi s line)

Operation - make sure you have the correct database up before adding a new table then in the text box ( Name) type in the name of your new table. Under (fields) add the ammount of fields you will be adding, the rest is very self explanitory.
