test database is not installed

Details

    Description

      The MariaDB Primer says:

      Replace db_name with the name of the database you want to access (such as test, which comes already created for testing purposes).

      Well, it does not. There is no test database installed by default

          Microsoft Windows desktop installer should have the option to install the test database provided as a configuration step. Whether it should be enabled by default is a matter of discussion. I say it should be on because it is a breaking change.

          I tend to think that we do not really need that database, and option. For the last 4 years, it did not bother anyone, so the status quo is "no test database". The added value of this option is truly minimal. MariaDB Primer was already changed to say it is not created on Windows, and it documents "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS test; USE test;" too.
          I'm still assigning this to Ian, perhaps clarification is needed for the case if there is no user database at all, in "Logging into MariaDB" paragraph.

          CREATE DATABASE is not enough, the test database must be unprotected.

          Clarified that the db_name can be left out. yecril71pl what do you mean by "the test database must be unprotected"?

          Anybody is allowed to do anything in the test database.
