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

1. Do you have full database access? Then just add a database with a name of your choice:

   CREATE DATABSE rob_bb;
   

2. If you only have a normal user access, the database name is often the same as the username.

3. Or you can run the query

   SHOW DATABASES;
   

to see what databases exist (which you are allowed to see).
