Creating a MySQL database on the Nobregas MySQL Panel takes just a few clicks. Your database is provisioned instantly on your assigned server node, ready for tables, users, and data. Follow this step-by-step guide to create your first — or next — database.

Step 1: Navigate to the Databases Page

  1. Log in at mysql.nobregas.org.
  2. Click Databases in the top navigation bar.
  3. You will see a list of your existing databases (if any) and a Create Database button at the top right.

Step 2: Click Create Database

Click the Create Database button. A modal dialog will appear with a single input field.

Step 3: Enter a Database Name

Type a name for your new database in the input field. Keep in mind:

  • Your database name will be automatically prefixed with your account prefix (e.g., u24a5d4_). So if you type mysite, the final name will be something like u24a5d4_mysite.
  • Only alphanumeric characters and underscores are allowed.
  • The total name (prefix + your input) cannot exceed 64 characters.
  • Choose a descriptive name like blog, shop, or app_production.

Step 4: Confirm Creation

Click the Create button inside the modal. The panel will:

  1. Validate your database name.
  2. Check that you have not exceeded your plan's database limit.
  3. Create the database on your assigned MySQL node.
  4. Record the database in your account.

A success notification appears and the new database is immediately visible in your database list.

What Happens After Creation

Your new database is:

  • Empty — It has no tables yet. You can create tables using the Visual Table Builder or via SQL queries.
  • Accessible — Your main MySQL user already has access. You can also create additional database users with specific privileges.
  • Backed up — If your plan includes daily backups, the database will be included automatically.

Database Limits

Each plan has a maximum number of databases. If you have reached your limit, the panel will display an error. To create more databases:

  • Delete databases you no longer need.
  • Upgrade your hosting plan with Nobregas.
