Re: Another superuser similar to root

Here's the privileges that MySQL provides.

to make sure you get all of root's privileges, you could

USE mysql;
UPDATE TABLE user set user = 'toor' WHERE user = 'root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Has the effect of removing root when you create toor.
But be careful you haven't created 'toor' already.

Good luck,
Barry.
