In MySQL, it creates it's own DB and places all it's tables there. The only time an app should overwrite data is if there is a naming conflict.
I think it's a little more accurate to say: "it creates it's own DB if needed, but will install its tables into an existing one". (And then add the caveats about naming and overwriting). I installed 1.3.?? into an existing DB. In fact, don't you have to have a DB with account and username before install?
