Sounds like maybe you've read the regular docs but you haven't seen the
wiki:

As far as setting up a MySQL database, it's usually a function
accessible from your control panel. For example, on cPanel servers the
control panel has a MySQL Databases page for adding/removing databases,
and a link to phpmyadmin to manage it.
If you're really unsure, contact your host provider. They're usually
willing to set up your first DB for you or walk you through it (takes
about 5 mins).
