how do i manage databases in the plesk control panel?

The Plesk Control Panel has the ability to create multiple MySQL and PostgreSQL databases as well as multiple users within each database. Also, directly accessible via Plesk, are the links to phpMyAdmin and PhpPGAdmin, the PHP interface applications that abstract mysql or postgresql into a web-based administration tool, allowing you to sort, edit, and create tables within a given database.

Before creating your databases within the Plesk Control Panel, please ensure that you have already added a hosted domain name to your dedicated server:
