My ISP has set up only one DB in MySQL, for an electronics store. I want to have a bulletin board for books, but My ISP apparently does not know how to add a second db andand arrange for separate permissions for each site.

Can someone tell me where I might find a tutorial for this? It is not as if I haven't looked.

And which is better, the My SQL GUI, or CL? Would the GUI make this easier?

I only know HTML, so these queries may seem silly. sorry.

You can try the "Create database books" and see what happens. Either from command line or through your mysql client. phpMyAdmin is great BTW.

If not, just create new tables within your existing database and use a prefix to sort them out. like bb_table_a, bb_table_b. You can set up table level permissions if you want, but I don't know why you would care. Having the same permissions doesn't mean users can somehow hack your new tables.
