I have a question on this script. When you run this, does this create the
mysql and information_schema databases?

I ran this in MySQL 5.0 on a Solaris box and it only created the
information_schema database. I see a data/mysql folder and it put files
under that but somehow it must not have created the mysql database properly.

I set the basedir and datadir in the script however when I ran it I had some
issues with the my.cnf at that time so maybe it did not work properly
becasue of that.

I see it on my windows installation but that was after I imported my dump
from Bugzilla so not sure if that created the mysql database or not (don't
think so).

Anyway if someone could let me know what this script creates, that would
help me a lot.

Thanks!!

Hi,

mysql_install_db is a script to create the mysql database which is the database we need all the time to run mysql server.

Information_schema is not a physical database. It will not come under the data folder. That database is to keep the details of the current status of existing databases in that server.
