How to Create a Database for Your Game Server

Every game server comes with MySQL database slots, and a FiveM framework such as ESX, QBCore or Qbox needs one. Creating a database takes a few clicks in the control panel.

1Open the Databases Page

• In the control panel, open your server and click Databases in the left menu under Management.
• Click the New database button in the top-right corner.

2Name Your Database

• Enter a Database name (letters, numbers, underscores, dashes and periods; 3 to 48 characters) and press Create.

3Grab Your Credentials

Your new database appears in the list with everything you need to connect:

• Host, Port, Database and Username each have their own copy button.
• Press the eye icon to reveal the password, or the copy button next to it to copy it straight away.
• Connection string gives you a ready-made string for resources like oxmysql.
• Open in phpMyAdmin takes you straight to phpMyAdmin to manage tables.

Finished

Your database is ready to use with your server. Need to load an existing dump? See how to import an SQL file via HeidiSQL, or use phpMyAdmin from the button above.
