The most popular post on this site, by far, is titled 'MySQL Create Database with UTF8 Character Set Syntax'. The post contained a small snippet with three MySQL commands to create
the MySQL database with UTF-8 character set, grant
the user privileges, and finally to Flush Privileges
.
Today, Scott Lindsey pointed out in the comments that FLUSH PRIVILEGES
isn't needed. After double checking locally that Scott was correct I looked it up and found a great explanation why MySQL FLUSH PRIVILEGES isn't needed on this blog post at dbahire.com
Thanks to Scott Lindsey for pointing this out.
