  I'm a liar, I admit it.

  You can create new databases through CF DSNs with MySQL as well.  You can
  issue a CREATE DATABASE <name> from any connection that was authenticated
  via an account with sufficient privileges.  However, since it seemed
  unlikely Nick had already created a different database and set up a DNS to
  it, I didn't want to confuse the issue.

  Cheers,
