MySQL databases can be managed within the Databases section under the Website section of Hostinger dashboard<\/a>. This is where you view, create, and configure the databases used by your MySQL, an open-source relational database management system — see which database management system is used at Hostinger<\/a> for more on how it works.<\/p>

Access the Databases section<\/h2>

To access it, go to Websites<\/a> → Dashboard<\/a><\/b>, search for Databases<\/b> Management<\/b> on the sidebar and click on it:<\/p>

\"Hostinger<\/div>

Once there, you can choose a website<\/b> from the left drop-down menu to show its associated databases:<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>
\n

View and assign databases<\/h2>\n

You will be presented with the List of Current MySQL Databases And Users <\/b>section. Please note that all new databases will be assigned to the selected domain; if a database is not yet assigned to a website, you can do so by clicking on Assign<\/b>:<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

<\/div>
\n
If you don’t have a database yet, see how to create a new MySQL database in Hostinger<\/a> first.<\/div>\n<\/div>

To access your database contents via phpMyAdmin, click on Enter phpMyAdmin<\/b>:<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>
\n

  3. \n
