I would like to setup and run a forum (www.webwizguide.com)

I know nothing about ASP or MySQL, or anything close to it for that matter. I learn fast, though.

That forum is all pre-set and ready to operate, if I follow instructions.

In the documentation there is a line Create a database on the SQL Server or use an excising one. (first of all, I figure, they meant "existing one").

I know I have whole-nine-yards set with my server, I have capability for MySQL, etc, etc, etc. I just don't know what should I do with "creating a new database", since, obviously, I do not have an existing one.

My guess is, that db is needed for the registered users profiles and such?

Could there be something just to kick it off? One-liner? Anything?

Please, help me out either with a smiple code or a good advice.
