Database Associate?
 
Is there a MYSQL database associated with Atahualpa named "information_schema" ? My site was recently hacked by a phishing attack and it coincided with my installation of Atahualpa and I don't want to delete a database that Atahualpa needs.

Thank you

I don't see a table by that name in any of my WordPress MySQL databases but I wouldn't go by my word alone and of course back up before you delete anything.

It's not related to Atahualpa, it's an internal DB of MySQL:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...on-schema.html

INFORMATION_SCHEMA is the information database, the place that stores information about all the other databases that the MySQL server maintains. Inside INFORMATION_SCHEMA there are several read-only tables. They are actually views, not base tables, so there are no files associated with them
