title: How do I use MySQL to create databases that remain even after system shutdown?
body: <p>I installed xampp on my 64bit windows 10.
  When I use command prompt to access MySQL, my previously created accounts are never there to log in with. When I do log in with root details and create databases, they are created. The moment I stop the server and start it again, all my databases are gone. 
  Any help with this? 
  My server version is mariaDb. </p>
