I've been studying MySQL for a few weeks now and am
about ready to publish some databases online. But I'm
confused about usernames and passwords. I understand
you can create usernames and passwords on three or
four different levels, like root, database, etc. As I
understand it, "localhost" is the standard platform on
which all the databases rest.
I believe all my databases have the same setting -
localhost, newbie_user, Newbie
Those aren't my real username and password, of course.
But I THINK newbie_user and Newbie are the username
and password for localhost, and none of my databases
have usernames or passwords. So how do I create one?
I thought I remembered seeing the password command in
phpMyAdmin, but I can't find it now.
And if I create a database username and password on
top of a localhost username and password, am I going
to have to log in with two usernames and passwords?
Then again, I could be mistaken about the localhost
username and password; it might be that newbie_user
and Newbie are a DATABASE username and password shared
by all my databases.
