Details

Prior to 542507, checksetup.pl would attempt to create a new db for mysql and postgres. This behavior is contrary to security best practice (the db user that runs bugzilla should not have admin privs) but is useful. During the second run of checksetup (when a localconfig file exists), we can attempt to create $db_name -- and if that fails print a message directing the user to create it.

I don't believe it is a good practice to do this.
