Hi Jeff As long as you have a user that has access to all of MySQL and can enter from root on the systems, what you call it is not important. Infact it is a good thing to change the root user name for security.

Hi All, New to mySql. I've setup ok, running ok, read thru the privilege system docs. My question is about the user "root": is it absolutely necessary to keep this user or is it ok to delete the root user (after setting up an equivalent "super-user" under another name)?
