This is documented in the manual:
Note: the '_' and '%' wildcards are allowed when specifying database
names in GRANT statements that grant privileges at the global or
database levels.
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/GRANT.html>
So, if dev is the prefix, you need:
GRANT SELECT ON 'dev%'.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If dev_ is your prefix, the next line from the manual is relevant:
This means, for example, that if you want to use a '_' character as
part of a database name, you should specify it as '\_' in the GRANT
statement, to prevent the user from being able to access additional
databases matching the wildcard pattern; for example,
GRANT ... ON 'foo\_bar'.* TO ....
Then you would need
GRANT SELECT ON 'dev\_%'.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have about 20 DB's with the same prefix.
How can I do something like
GRANT SELECT ON dev_*.* ....
I have seen examples for the _other_ DB software, like msql,
that does something like:
SELECT 'GRANT SELECT ON '+name+' TO webuser;'
from sysobjects
where type = 'U'
(which generates the grant statements to run)
Is this possible in mysql? Maybe something like:
SELECT 'GRANT SELECT ON '+name+' TO webuser;'
from `show databases like 'dev_%'`
I know that sub-queries aren't possible, but does anyone have
any suggestions that don't involve weighty shell scripts?
Is there anyway to write show databases to file
without the bordering box?
