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 are no default databases. If you were asking about default users 'root' would be it.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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).

Answer 4

No there is not...............
