Heya Scott,You have to change user to the root, and then create the database or grant permission to do so to additional users.
To change to the root type: su - Then enter the admin password. Hope this helps, Kam.p.s. - Don't forget to assign permission for your user to actually use the database, or they will get an access denied message when trying to do anything with it !
