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).
