Create a database
To create a new database, select the server where the database
should be created in the Server Navigator, click New Database
in the Connection Menu.
After you create a new database, you must perform additional
steps to define the tables, queries and reports that will
make up your database.
Open a database
After connecting to the server, Double click on the preferred
database
to show all the tables, queries and backups associated with
the database.
Rename a database
MySQL does not support the rename of a database through its
interface at the moment, but you can rename the database if
you have access to the directory in which MySQL stores its
databases.
For default MySQL installations, this is usually in the Data
folder under the directory where MySQL was installed. Locate
the name of the database you want to rename under the Data
folder and rename it.
NOTE: You must stop MySQL
before you can rename the database
Delete a database
To delete a database, select the database in the Server Navigator
and click Drop Database in the connection menu. A confirmation
dialog will prompt you before deleting the database.
NOTE: Be very careful
when deleting a database, the operation is irreversible.
Copy a database
You can copy a database from one server to another or to the
same server under a different database name by using Navicat's
Data Transfer function.
Move a database
You can move a database from one server to another by copying
the database to where you want it and then delete the original
one.
