You might, for a database called "music", create a "musicroot" account that has full privileges for that database and a "musicrick" account that has normal privileges for that database; that way you don't need to worry about musicrick running around in your "movies" database and you needn't worry about musicroot accidentally deleting your "recipes" database. If you do everything as root, you not only won't be practiced handling DB privileges to better know what you want to give someone on a database that actually matters but you're also walking around with a loaded and cocked gun with the safety off and your finger on the trigger.
