How to Create a File on an SQL Server

If your web server has a database-management tool like SQL installed on it, you can begin adding new database files. Files on an SQL server are typically created through a Web interface called "PHP My Admin," which should have been installed when you set up SQL to run on your server.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Web server with SQL installed

1. Open a web browser and go to your PHP My Admin page. By default, the page should be located at http://serveraddress.com/phpmyadmin.

2. Log in to your PHP My Admin page using the username and password that you selected when you originally configured your SQL server.

3. Enter a name for the new file in the "Create New Database" field.

4. Choose "Collation" from the list of database types and then click on the "Create" button. SQL will now create a new database file on your web server.

5. Add new tables in your database by typing in titles, choosing the number of fields you want each table to have and then clicking on the "Go" button.

6. Choose names for the new fields and then click "Save" to finish setting up your new file. Once the file has been saved on the SQL server, you can begin importing data.
