Re: Unknown database 'mysql' [Answer]

I assume you are following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MariaDB.

I can't tell why mysql is "Unknown database".

There's some really horrible recommendations on the wiki in archlinux.

If its a new install, I recommend removing your datadir contents and reinstall with mariadb-install-db --user mysql --skip-test-db, then start MariaDB.

Don't use mysql_secure_installation (skip-test-db covers most of it), and its a less than maintained script.

Create a normal user for yourself with sudo -u mysql mariadb and the CREATE USER with appropriate GRANTS.
