To create a database under the name of your user you will need to login to ssh.progsoc.org and run the script create-mysql-database

It will mention :-

This will create a MySQL database named 'username'. Is this what you want? Type 'yes' or 'no' > yes

All done! Good times.

Your password is: ********

Access your database with 'mysql -h muspell -u username -p' (and then 'use username;')

Please Make a note of your password for MySQL
