I am have a problem with the above syntax 
and that we have databases in the 
/var root directory that are being created.

1) How do we contril where the db is created?

2) When I call mysql, the database appears,
but when I use something like wdbi's mysqlfdf,
the programme cannot connect to an
active mysql; why?
