How to install and activate XAMPP for Windows
To download and install XAMPP on your Windows, use the following steps:
Step 1: Open the XAMPP website. Go to https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html in
your computer's web browser to download the latest version.
Step 2: You have three (3) options to download XAMPP, it depends on what kind of
Operating System (OS) you’re using. As for me, I choose the XAMPP for Windows.

Step 3: Double-click the downloaded file. This file should be named something

like xampp-windows-x64-8.0.0-3-VS16-installer, and you'll find it in the default
downloads location (e.g., the "Downloads" folder or the desktop).
Step 4: Click “Yes” when prompted. This will open the XAMPP setup window. You
may have to click OK on a warning if you have User Account Control (UAC) activated
on your computer.

Step 5: Next you will see the Welcome to the XAMPP Setup Wizard screen. Click
the Next button to continue.
Step 6: All components are checked by default so no need to change anything and click
the Next button to continue.

Step 7: Next you can choose a folder to install XAMPP, in my case it’s C:\xampp as I
am installing XAMPP in C drive, you can set yours where you would like to install and
click the Next button to continue.
Step 8: Select a language. If you want to choose English language just click the “Next”
button.

Step 9: Unchecked the “Learn more about Bitnami for XAMPP” box.
Step 10: Setup is now ready to installing XAMPP on your computer, click
the Next button to continue.

Step 11: Now it will start installing process.

Step 12: Click the Finish button to Completing the XAMPP Setup Wizard.

Step 13: The XAMPP Control Panel allows you to manually start and stop Apache and
MySQL. Now start the Apache and MySQL.
Step 14: To launch the phpMyAdmin, just click the “Admin” button in the MySQL line.

Step 15: We can now see the interface of the phpMyAdmin.

To create a complete database, use this following steps:

Step 1: To create a database, click “New” icon at the upper left side of your screen.

Step 2: After clicking the “New”, you can now type your database name at the text box
named “Database name” and then click the “Create” button.
Step 3: To create tables in a database, click the name of your database at the upper
left side of your screen. Then type your table name at the text box, you can also adjust
the number of columns just by clicking the arrow up or down. After that you can now
click the “Go” button.

Step 4: After creating your table, the interface shows a lot of text box wherein you can
now modify your table by just typing the name of your column which means your
attributes, its type(whether it is an int or varchar), length/values,etc.
NOTE: This ‘A_I’ stands for Auto-Increment. Use this and your table will automatically
count the numbers your data respectively. It’s useful because you won’t have to do the
numbering manually. Imagine having to number up to almost a hundred data or
sometimes thousands.

Step 5: After entering your attribute name, you can now save your data by scrolling
down and click the “Save” button.
Step 6: After saving, it will look like this. It means that you successfully created a table.
Next, to add data in your table you need to click “Insert” in the Menu Bar.

Step 7: After clicking the “Insert” icon, you can now enter your data at the designated
text box. To save your data, you need to click the “Go” button.
Step 8: After entering all of your data, the interface will look like this.

Note: If you want to create more table, just follow the steps that are mentioned above.

Reflection
This is my first time to create a database using the short method and it so hard to
do even though I used the short method. My database contains 3 tables and each
tables have different attributes wherein the data is all about student’s information.
There’s a lot of process before you completely create a database and if someone ask
me if I’m going to use the short or long method, I will probably use the short method, the
short method is convenient if you’re having a short time to create a database. This
method can saves time especially when you’re running out of time. Actually, I have my
data saved in excel, when I inserted my data in database I used “Import” to saves more
time. I saved my excel file into .csv which means it can be imported in phpmyadmin. It
was exciting at the same stressful because we had a lot of works to do but the method I
used is so easy and I finished it quickly. I hope I will learn more about database
because I think it will help me in the near future.
