The first task is to create a MySQL user account we can use for the purposes of this chapter. To set up as user account you will need to log into MySql using an account that has suitable privilages. If you are unsure about which user account to use speak to your system administrator or refer to the [http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/database_guides/mysql_5.1_database_reference_guide/index.html MySQL documentation].In this example we will assume you have the root password: <pre>mysql -p -u rootEnter password:Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.Your MySQL connection id is 10411 to server version: 5.0.27 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql></pre>
