Creating a database via PhpMyAdmin
Let's create a database. To do this, first go to the Databases tab:
In this tab we find the input Database name:
In the input, we enter the name of our database. Let it be test. Next, in the neighboring input, we select the encoding. By default, it has the encoding utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci. However, it is recommended to set the encoding utf8mb4_general_ci, which allows working not only with Latin, but also with Cyrillic. Then we click on the create button, located to the right of the input:
Our DB is created! Now you will see its name in the left sidebar:
Create the test database.
Change the encoding for the database (to utf8mb4_general_ci).
