Please note: The number of databases you can set up will depend upon the type of account you have - you will see a summary of your existing databases and how many you have left to add on the MySQL Databases page of the Webfusion Control Panel. You can set up any number of tables within each database; however it is not possible to create secondary users for your MySQL database.

Tip: Alternatively, you can install any MySQL database administration package that is compatible with our servers onto your account, or you can write your own database tools in PHP, CGI or Perl.
