[thelist] setting up MySQL username/password on local host

[Paul Bennett]

Hi Bruce,

I assume you already have a root account (username & password).

If so then create a database:
Create database `mydb`;

Then I usually add a user account by using the grant command:

Let me know if you need any more help :)
