I have used MySQL twice in my career so I did read the MySQL How-to
page and just wanted to ask here if what I did as correct based on
what I wanted to do. I just wanted to create a new database in MySQL
called "webmail" and then also create a new user who limited to only
accessing the 'webmail' database and nothing else. Can someone please
tell me if I did this correctly or if I messed up and mis-understood
the instructions. I am sure there are easier ways to do this via
mysql-admin tool but I prefer to just try the way below unless its
dead wrong...
