IMHO, this method can't protect the content of the CD.
Hace a closer look :
- you have read acces to the CD (files-level read access), but your
MySQL server asks for a password when you want to read a particular
table.
- so, copy the content of the CD to hard-disk (included privs database)
- edit manually (vi -b) the passwords table, replace the existing
encrypted password with one you know the clear text
- use MySQL with the table stored on the hard-disk
- you are prompted for a password, enter yours
- you have access to the CD content without the original password
( you have just win some maps of Australia :)
I think it would work ....
