But your data should never be left behind. see mysqldump

I perfer not to have makecat setup my sql access. I add sql access after the
catalog is running, then restart the IC server. Not sure if this is the best
way- but it is effective is mysql is locked down...

Yep- choose 0 on the SQL part in makecat- as long you have the proper perl
modules installed.
