I'm trying to create my first composite index and need
some help. 

The MySQL Manual at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/CREATE_INDEX.html
offers these directions:

CREATE [UNIQUE|FULLTEXT|SPATIAL] INDEX index_name
[index_type]
    ON tbl_name (index_col_name,...)

index_col_name:
    col_name [(length)] [ASC | DESC]

* * * * * * * * * *

So I'm trying to plug that into my situation. If my
table is named fammammals, and I want to put a
composite index on two fields named NameMam and IDMam,
would it look something like this?:

CREATE [UNIQUE|FULLTEXT|SPATIAL] INDEX index_name
[index_type]
    ON fammammals (index_NameMam,...)

index_col_name:
    IDMam [(length)] [ASC | DESC]

And can I just paste this code into phpMyAdmin, where
it says, "Run SQL query/queries on database [MY
DATABASE]"?

Thanks.
