#1044 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema'

Question

Someone sold us a script and not sure if it's working so I need to test it before it's too late however I'am getting the error "#1044 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema'"

I wasn't able to put the code entirely so here is the pastebin link : http://pastebin.com/P4dPRHaf

I searched but couldn't really find a lot of help since i don't have experience on those stuff .note that I'am using Wamp server & getting this error when I try to import the .SQL file on PHPmyAdmin I guess that information_schema already exists on the database however not sure what part should I delete etc...

Answer 1

It's saving you from yourself.

You should not be running statements on the info schema db (unless you REALLY know what you're doing). The database serves as a "meta" repository that dictates how the server operates. Chances are that you have no need to touch it and you'll likely brick your server if you do.
