Are you using.... Cpanel ? if yes then which version... if its Version11 then you should have "MySQL database wizard" which could easily guide you... answer me so that i could explain you...
Could you please provide more details regarding the database? E.g. what kind of information you would like to keep there, do you have direct access to the db. or do you use web-interfaces like phpMyAdmin.... Regards Maciej
