Creating a database

[Andrew Conkling]

I am trying to host a message board through a service from
www.phpbb.com. To install it, I need to create a blank mySQL database.
I've perused the documentation and have not been able to figure out how.
When I have "succeeded", it seems all that is created is an empty folder
with the name I gave the database. Is this right? If not, how (else) can
I create it?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
