I may have missed the post prior, but I believe this is true only of sqLite 
databases. In a mySQL database, LC would not create a new database because of 
the security built into mySQL. So far as I know, if you want to create a new 
mySQL database, you will have to shell in to a mySQL server. Also, if it is a 
hosted server you may not be able to do even that because of the front end 
security involved.
