Database isn't private
Reply Quote
Hey all, I'm wondering if what I'm experiencing is normal; I created a new MySQL database on the server, and originally it was just my database and the 'test' database. Nothing special there.

However, this morning there was another database created on the same server that I did not create, and I can view every single piece of data in it. This worries me slightly, as I don't want anyone else to be able to view -my- database certainly, as there are some very mission critical pieces of information potentially going to be stored on there.

Is the database that was created overnight just another test of some kind, or is it someone's actual database? Is there a way to find out?

Thanks.

You'll be able to see all the database with the word test in it. That's how mysql is setup by default.  You can open a ticket and have our support change the mysql so that no one can see it.

The new database is called 'products' and has two tables, 'maker' and 'prod'. Is that still normal for it to be visible? If so, I won't worry about it and just take you on your word :)

In that case, someone grant public access to those 2 db. If you want to test to make sure your db is ok, just create another db with different userid and pwd.  Login with that userid and pwd to see if you can access your other db.
