Ok, this tutorial will try to explain how to use phpmyadmin to add a table to your database or to modify your database.
I've use phpmyadmin version 2.6.1 for this but it's the very much the same with other versions : so let's go


  1. Go into phpMyAdmin in your web browser and enter your login and password : you should see a screen like this :
    http://www.adamreyher.com/pub/phpbb/kbarticle151/1.gif

  2. Now, find your database on the left part of the screen :
    http://www.adamreyher.com/pub/phpbb/kbarticle151/2.gif

  3. You should see something like this :
    Top of the screen :
    http://www.adamreyher.com/pub/phpbb/kbarticle151/3.gif

  4. Look for the SQL tab and click it. Once you are on this page, copy/paste the SQL query to run into the box :
    http://www.adamreyher.com/pub/phpbb/kbarticle151/4.gif

  5. Click on "Go" (or Execute) :
    http://www.adamreyher.com/pub/phpbb/kbarticle151/5.gif

  6. Now, you should see a page like this :
    http://www.adamreyher.com/pub/phpbb/kbarticle151/6.gif

  7. If you get a message error, like this :
    http://www.adamreyher.com/pub/phpbb/kbarticle151/7.gif

    Just read the error message and correct the sql query and try it again.


If all has gone well you have then successfully executed a SQL query using phpMyAdmin.
