If your not the admin of the DB, you'll have to ask the DB's admin for your
login and password. If you are the admin, you'll need to RTFM about DB
security and the GRANT and REVOKE statements. And no, it's not a good idea
to allow connections using the root user to perform anything else other than
db administration.
