Setting up a Database, Table and Users

Now that our core MySQL installation is pretty much complete we can create a separate database for EventSentry. You can follow these steps even if you are not planning on using EventSentry to learn the basics of creating a database, tablles and users. You can delete this database again after you have completed the tutorial.

You can create the database, table and users either through the command-line mysql shell, or with the MySQL Control Center. For beginners we recommend choosing the SQL shell first and then taking a look at the MySQL Administrator.

1. MySQL SQL Shell

2. MySQL Control Center
