Perhaps you are a little lost on certain MySQL basics like user creation , beleive me , it happened to me a lot , I always forgot the damn command to create a new user on MySQL server. Its easy ... follow these basic steps

Perhaps you will face the problem I recently found in the middle of a migration, I migrated a huge database from MySQL 4.0.20 to new 4.1 version , the webserver talking to this new database server had PHP compiled with MySQL 4.0.20, guess what happened ?? , PHP with the old MySQL client was not talking to the new MySQL server, read why & the fix here ...

Lately im trying to document as many 'quick tips' as i can, and this is a small command that I actually forgot while running some database checks the other day, as simple as it is I had to 'google' it to remember, so i might as well document it right here no ??
