help me make a new database for my forums

[pwnedbyjosh]

i already have a database which i want to delete but i also want to make 2 more databases. how do i do it

[nysebamse]

To delete an entire database:

 

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS db_name

 

To create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS db_name

 

See also www.mysql.com for documentation on MySQL.

You can do it from php

 

[php:1:af123983bd]<?php

mysql_query (\"DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS db_name\");

mysql_query (\"CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS db_name\");

?>[/php:1:af123983bd]
