 * Maybe you did overwrite the name of mysql database?
 * In general, it writes to:
 * wp_posts
    wp_comments
 * so on…
 * If the host server, port, and such is OK, WP knows no need to add “myqsl.” ..
   before every table.
 * Feel free to comment, but in general my setups would log:
    wp_posts ok wp_comments
   ok
 * You get the idea,
