Hi
No. MySQL doesn't insist on any 'root' user. If necessary you can rename
it. If you have the supervisor privileges, you can edit the same. Make
sure to Grant Permissions.
For instance: mysql> grant all on *.* to 'myroot'@localhost identified by
'myroot';
Thanks

Subject: Renaming the root user - problems.
Hello,
my question refers to the user "root" in MySQL 5.0.22.
Is the standard MySQL root user really required with the name "root" or
can I rename the root user for example to "myroot"?
Our software vendor affirms that MySQL need the User "root" always but I
argue the convers.
The application of this vendor doesn't work by renaming the "root" user to
"myroot".
In my opinion the application causes the fault and not the MySQL DBMS.
Who is right?
Regards
Spiker
