retitle 921047 mysql plugin needs configuration
priority 921047 minor
thanks
Hi,
thank you for reporting this. Yes, the db plugins generally need
configuration to properly work. This is not just the case for mysql, but
also for postgresql.
At work we always create a 'dummy' read-only user for this, using any
privileged accounts is out of the question (as you rightly pointed out).
I'm not sure we can do anything about this other than documenting it in
README.Debian or so. The "right thing" to do here would be to have a
common read-only, unprivileded user for this on all DBs in debian.. but
that would require much work/not sure everyone would want that.
I'll leave the bug open for now, think about it some more.. and probably
end up putting a note in README.Debian.. or do you have any better
suggestions?
Regards,
Daniel
