How to create new mysql user/db in Mac OS X?
If you are using the terminal client, generally you can do things like reset the root users password for mysql or create databases.
A simple example can be found at the MySQL docs site, of which I will copy the highlights.

To create a new MySQL user:


Login to MySQL in Terminal:mysql -u username
In the prompt:CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'admin'@'localhost';
If you want to create a database: create database name; is all you need to do


If you do decide to use mysqladmin, mysqladmin can create and drop databases, but it cannot create new users.
