Hi,

 

Just a quick question. I have just installed mysql v4.0.21-debug, (which
is the version marked as production on the mysql web site) on Windows
2000 server.

The installation was fine and the services have started ok.

 

The user manual suggests changing the user account passwords as soon as
possible and I believe these are located in a 'mysql' database, however
my installation only seems to have setup a 'test' database so far (as
listed when  executing the 'mysqlshow' command). Just in case the
database was hidden from view I tried executing the 'set password'
command under the 'mysql' monitor program and although it didn't report
any errors it said that 0 rows were affected so I assume the database
does not exists.

 

As this is only a testing database I'm not too worried about the
privileges but I am now concerned that the installation wasn't 100%
successful. Can you confirm if I will experience problems without the
'mysql' database and if so how can I create it myself with the right
columns and attributes etc?

 

Regards,

 

Darren
