On Godaddy does MySQL take forever to change to active status?

I called godaddy tech support and they said that it could take 24 to 48 hours for MySQL to change from “setup” to “active” status, and that I probably wouldn’t be able to install WordPress before then. Has anyone else had this trouble?
