Hey,

Im learning how to do all this mySQL stuff within the Mac OS Terminal. Anyways I ran a SHOW DATABASES; and came up with the following

+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| cdn_test |
| mysql |
| sitename |
+--------------------+

Now I know what cdn_test and sitename are because I created those. Information_schema and mysql I did not create I believe they came default. Could I delete those or would that muck everything up?

Thanks!

Do not touch them. They are the information stores for MySQL itself.
