I am relatively new to mySQL. I have just installed mySQL from source on a local FreeBSD server. bin/mysql_install_db installed the mysql and test databases. I can verify this on the server and with phpMyAdmin from my Mac. Now when I create a new database I can verify that it exists like so:
mysql> show databases; +------------+ | Database | +------------+ | MyDatabase | | mysql | | test | +------------+ 4 rows in set (0.01 sec) mysql> use MyDatabase; Database changed mysql> create table MyTable (name varchar(20), address varchar(30)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec) mysql> show tables; +----------------------+ | Tables_in_MyDatabase | +----------------------+ | MyTable | +----------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> describe MyTable; +---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | name | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | address | varchar(30) | YES | | NULL | | +---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.01 sec) But when I connect to the server with phpMyAdmin the newly created database doesn't show up. Only the test database created by the install_db script shows up. What could I be doing wrong? Please cure me of my ignorance...
