Hey guys, definitely a newbie to the forum, and a newbie to databases. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm a quick learner and am totally up to the challenge.

What I want to do is create two databases. First, I'd like to create a membership database, including profile, login, register, etc. Second, I'd like to create a baby name database.

How would I do this? I'm not sure how to Google this, but I'm looking for a starting place, how would I begin this? Where do I place the files? Etc, etc, etc.

Is there some type of on-line guide/tutorial (even if it's vague)? Or can someone help me here?

Thanks so much in advance and I'm anxious to begin!
(PS - I know I could buy these things, but I'm just a girl on a tight budget! Lol, plus... I like doing things myself!)

Depends on what DBMS you are using. Access, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, SyBase....

If you are using Mysql most likely you have phpmyadmin included in your account control panel. This is the tool you could use to create the database fields.

For each field you must specify a name, type, size and whether or not there is a default value.

If you had to ask the question, I am not sure you can accomplish this unless you just love a challenge.

Somewhere on my hard drive I have a baby names DB. If I have time I will tryy to find it.

To clear up the tings, I think you want to create 1 database, with a username table and 1 babyname table.

1 database contains table(s), which are composed of columns. the columns are informations stored into the table.
Each row in the table is a set of datas.

Think of a database as an excel file, a table as a sheet, and the rows and column as, well, the rows and columns
