15You must choose a MySQL password (independent of your Athena account) when you <a href="signup">Signup</a> and then use this interface to create and drop your MySQL databases.
16All subsequent SQL commands can be issued from any host, client, and/or script of your choosing.

22As you work with your SQL data, it is automatically saved on an additional secondary SQL server for restoration in the event of a single server failure.
23<strong>We strongly recommend you keep your own backups for your own independent use in all other cases.</strong>
24Although we continually put forth our best efforts, we can make no guarantees on the reliability of the service and access to the data.</p>

28<p>
29By default, new users can create up to <strong>5 databases</strong>, consuming a total of <strong>25 megabytes</strong> of SQL data.
30The system will periodically check your database sizes and suspend creation of new data (INSERT statements) if your total usage exceeds your allotted quota.
31</p>
32
33<p>
34This service is not designed to store gratuitous amounts of information in the BLOB or BINARY formats. Extra quota space will not be allotted to users for this type of data.
35Users should instead store these types of data in AFS and use SQL tables only to catalogue it.
36</p>

41We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your MySQL account at any time and for any or no reason.

45We maintain general usage statistics of this service by the MIT community at large.
