What MySQL databases are necessary for operating a wordpress website with shared hosting? I have not been able to find this information. I inadvertantly deleted a database named: username_wo607 which was 1.51 mb. I restored a database file of that name but it is empty. I am just starting up configuration of the site so I can't restore from backup.

Hello ColoradoElkHerd,

What ever database is listed in your wp-config.php file as that is the only database for that installation of wordpress. To view your wp-config.php you may follow this guide.
