The 'dba_user' is used in the example, but you'd probably want to use the 
MySQL 'root' account when setting up the drupal database.

 From INSTALL.txt:

"In the following examples, 'dba_user' is an example MySQL user which has 
the CREATE and GRANT privileges. Use the appropriate user name for your system."
