Unless a database already exists, very little can be done with MySQL until a database with at least one table has been created. Databases and tables can either be created using SQL commands (typically using the ''mysql'' tool) or using a grpahical administration tool such as ''MySQL Administrator''. In this chapter we will cover the creation of databases and tables using MySQL Administrator. If you prefer to use SQL commands to perform these tasks refer to [[Creating Databases and Tables Using SQL Commands]].
