Comment(by mrmist):

 I reckon this would bomb out in most cases.  You're basically going to
 have 2 different user types - the first type has their own dedicated
 server, is pretty tech savvy, and would already have created the mysql
 database.  The second type has shared hosting and more than likely can't
 create databases on the fly, having to go through their hosting CP
 instead.

 It's worth a go, but it could probably try to check permissions first, or
 something.
