I am pretty new to MySQL, in fact that also covers Linux as well.

I have Mandrake 8.0 which I have installed MySQL using the RPM format. 
 I plan to write code (python) to access the database to manage what 
data it may hold.

The server automatically starts on boot - which is fine.

To be able to do anything with MySQL I have to be logged on as 'root'

If I try to access the database I have created under my normal logon 
('pmoscatt') I get the following error message:

    ERROR 1044: Access denied for user '@localhost' to database 'MCMaint'

I have read the manual to see how I can get around this but find it 
confusing.

Can anyone help me to allow me to access databases under my normal user 
account.

Pete
