hi i just started laerning sql what the ebst way to design the data base on my cpanel i got a sql button does this do it or am i best to use myphpadmin ?

i prefer phpmyadmin that comes with xampp. easy GUI program. clear and understandable.

what is a xampp and waht verison og phpadmin do i need to downlad how do i install it

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
choose the os u r using and dl and continue with the instructions.. this program has very nice features lile its own database (mysql) apache server and easy to use command center.. if u follow the instructions, no problem will occur.. it also includes phpmyadmin. gl

You don't need xampp, that's if you are tyring to setup a server.


your sql button in cPanel is what you use to create databases, create database users, and to give the users permission on the databases.

You will then use phpMyAdmin (also in cPanel, look at the bottom of the sql page) to create your tables/columns and excute SQL statements.

hi anacrusis ive seen these but im not to sure what to do as i got MySQL Databases and PostgreSQL Databases on the postgresql one it say i can manage from phpmyadmin but when i lcick and try log on it fails

Don't worry about PostgresSql, you should only be concerned with mySql at this piont.

We have some video tutorials to help our customers with using cPanel to set things up. We use rvSkin so our version of cPanel is customized, but the concepts are still the same.

Look at tutorials #12 and #14

ok but i have not got myphpadmin on my cpanel there only a link on the postgressql and when i try log in it does not let me is this ebcasue it not set up or i dont have a database built

You will need to go into your mySql section of cPanel, on the bottom of the screen you should see a text link to phpMyAdmin.

yeah i do sorry i was looking at the wrong thing duh :P
