Nice, I was using the database named mysql for my data so that fits |
| 31 |
like a glove with the other software that accesses mysql. The grant |
| 32 |
tables are in the mysql database, so passwording that database secures |
| 33 |
my data and the grant tables right? Is it OK to leave the "test" |
| 34 |
database as is? |
