Creating and Database and Tables using phpMyAdmin
Note: In newer versions WampServer for Windowa, the W icon may be yellow instead of green. This means that not all services are running.  All services MUST be running.  According to some websites, having the computer configured for auto-updates may be causing the problem.   Try making the following changes while working on the assignments, but then change it back when you are done.
Control Panel  System Security  Windows Updates Never Check for Updates
Again, be sure to change it back to auto update when you are done.
Also, Apollo1 uses phpMyAdmin version 2.9.03. The current in 3.2..0.1. There may be some differences but they are both functionally the same.

1.	From the WAMP menu select phpMyAdmin
2.	Select Databases from the main page (left column, near the bottom) 
Note: In newer versions, the Databases button may be at the top of the page.
3.	Scroll down to the Create new database textboxes
4.	Enter the name of the database.  
All databases for this class will be sp##07, sp##07a, sp##07b (Example sp0107, sp0107a, sp0107b where ## is your number.)
5.	Click on Create

6.	
Sp0107a will now appear in the databases table. Click on the name of the new database (sp0107a in the example)

7.	In the Create new table on database textbox, enter the name of the table and the number of fields. This example is being kept simple so just 2 fields will be added. Click on Go

8.	Next set the properties for each of the fields
In newer version: There is a textbox to enter a table description. This is recommended. In this case “Sample table for class demonstration” might be appropriate.

Note: The screen was too wide for one print-screen. Below is a continuation of the above.

9.	Click on the Save button and the table will be created and you are ready to insert date. Click on the Insert button.

10.	In the Insert screen you can add one or two records at a time. In SP0107a, two records (Sam and Sally) have been added. Notice the Ignore checkbox has been unchecked if more than one record is to be added.

11.	You will receive confirmation that two records have been added and the SQL query will be displayed.

12.	To view the contents of the table, click on the Browse Button. The pencil icon if for editing a record and the red x is for deleting a record.
