Thanks for the response - the extra security was
exactly what I had in mind. :)

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.

Subject: root user: required to exist after initial setup?


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)?

Thanks,
Jeff
