Re: creating a new database with mysqldb

As a client on a shared host, I suspect the provider created a user
account and A (one) database for that account. The privilege tables for
that user account would have been set so that only that database is
available. The account would have full privileges within that database,
and no privileges to access any other database (including the mysql
master tables). Depending the strictness of the provider, the account
may or may not allow for connections from outside hosts, or only from
"localhost" (ie, CGI applications that are running on the provider's
machine, and not via "mysql -u user -h somewhere.out.there -p" or
programmatic equivalents)

I know for sure I can't connect from anywhere else, only the server itself. But I *think* I have full privileges to do what I want with the database, but I need to do some further checking, I suppose. It says I have 'amdmin privilegs' but that might not be the same as what I need to create databases outside of the control panel.
