Access denied for user: error????

[hsmith]

I'm getting the error "access denied for user" when I try to create a db. This is my first attempt at creating a db in mysql. The syntax I used was "create database "dbname". Can anyone shed any light why we are getting this error?

To create a database you have to pay $15 to have powweb do it. You can not make a database yourself.

This in addition to the $30.00?

Just go to Member Ops and add MySQL to your package. Give your database a name. You'll see a bill for $30 appear in your Billing section. That's the fee for MySQL set up here.

My database was set up was almost immediately. That was last week.

I don't think you can create the database any other way than through Member Ops. Individual tables in the database, of course, can be created through PhP or a front-end program. I use MySQL Front (freebie).

After your database is working, if you have a credit card on file, you can go into the Make Payments thing and pay the $30. I was under the impression the card would be billed automatically, but I don't think that's the case. I think you have to actually make the payment yourself.

Good luck and happy SQLing.
