mjpuczko 0 Posted March 30, 2004 i have dl'd & installed mysql v. 4.0.18 23.1M. i opened the winmysqladmin.exe and created the user name/password & need to create a generic db for a weblog program called wordpress. when i click on the db tab in winmysqladmin, there is a db called mysql that appears to have fields populated. my question is, does mysql do this automatically? or do i need to create a new one? sorry for posting htis here, but i cannot find a good website for mysql help. and the wordpress help isn't very helpful right now.

s0l1d 0 Posted March 30, 2004 The "mysql" db that you see is a database used by MySQL itself for various functions, including user and database control. Do not delete this db as it is very important to MySQL's function. If you have PHP installed, I suggest you use phpMyAdmin (www.phpmyadmin.net) to do MySQL administration. If you edit the tables/data directly, you might mistakingly screw up MySQL. Share this post Link to post
