Another little problem I forgot to add.... Show Databases

[Temisa]

Along with Xampp, I also installed a software called EMS MYSQL Manager Pro which provides a great gui for working with MYSQL and it's free. I have created two databases using the EMS interface, so when I log into EMS I see my two databases one which was created in EMS and one via the command line and the test database. But when I use the show databases command on the mysql command line only the test database shows.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is?

Thanks

The user you use in the commandline for the connection have not the privileges to see/use the other databases.
