Have you tried reading a basic tutorial on MySQL?

To use Phpmyadmin, (1) install it (or if you're lucky discover that your hosting service provides it preinstalled -- mine, pair.com, does), (2) Run it, following the help info. It's very easy to use, provided you understand the basics of what you are trying to do.

I don't know what wamp is.

Same as LAMP but on Windows instead of on Linux, Linux/Windows - Apache - MySQL - PHP. Could be a bundled package. The OP is probably running a server on his own machine.

They also have a number of inaccuracies that can confuse beginners later when they start learning more advanced topics.
