Please try each line separate or type them over manually. The last line worked so you don't need to do that one again. It looks like a copy paste error.

I can't seem to add postfix user and password and postfix admin user and password without ERROR 1062 or 1064. I've tried a number of variations on your syntax above without success. (The only part of your documentation I've tried to change is the password). I have not "Setup the rights for the just created users" for any users I might have indirectly added to the mysql database. What follows are my first couple of attempts? How do I know if I've added any users? Can I clear these missteps and try again? Thanks in advance... mysql> USE mysql;

Very informative... now a small prob I ran into: when creating the tables, I get this warning: Warning (Code 1287): 'TYPE=storage_engine' is deprecated; use 'ENGINE=storage_engine' instead should all occurences of TYPE= in your code be replaced by ENGINE= ? Or does that have some unwanted side-effects? I have created the tables like you indicated, with TYPE=. Can that be changed later, is that desirable, and if yes: how? thanks for you help, Marc first and foremost: Thank you so much for a great website! Very informative…

now a small prob I ran into: when creating the tables, I get this warning:

Warning (Code 1287): ‘TYPE=storage_engine’ is deprecated; use ‘ENGINE=storage_engine’ instead

should all occurences of TYPE= in your code be replaced by ENGINE= ? Or does that have some unwanted side-effects? I have created the tables like you indicated, with TYPE=. Can that be changed later, is that desirable, and if yes: how?

thanks for you help,
