> As it says: "General MySQL knowledge is assumed". But searching for "mysql > create database" and "mysql grant privileges" should help. Coming at this as a complete novice in databases, it would help if the PowerDNS instructions had a pointer. (I know it isn't the job to teach me databases, but I'm just trying to exercise the DNS functions associated with PowerDNS.)
For 'mysql create database' I was led to do this: # mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
