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?
Well the root user in mysql has nothing special to it. It is just an
account with all privileges plus the grant option.
So grants those privileges to an account of your choice, revoke the
non-necessary privileges from root and let them use the "root" account ...
Might be a good idea to put this into your documentation, though :)
