Default MySQL database name

Question

I\'m trying to install mybb on a server but the admin is taking too long to respond. I have all the information I need except the database name. Is there a default name for mysq

Answer 1

There is no default database.

A fresh MySQL server install will have 0 databases. The install script will run mysql_install_db after the server is running to create a mysql database, which MySQL uses to store users and privileges. Don't put your data there.

You can create your own databases by issuing CREATE DATABASE [name] queries if your user has permission.
