Yeah, What i am referring to is rather the "Global access options" in MySQL. I have one "root" user with full "global access" for administration purposes. An option would be to remove the "root" user and let every user including the "root" user have access on table level instead of global access.
But I fear that this would complicate administration. Each new table would need to be assign access to the "root" user. A better solution in my perspective is that the tables that need to be accessable on a user level should be marked as excluded from the "global access option". But your suggestion of removing the "root" user would solve my problem but increase administration?. /jonas -----Original Message----- From: Sergei Golubchik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 18 november 2004 14:29 To: Jonas Ladenfors Cc: Mysql (E-mail) Subject: Re: Row level security requirements, can I still use MySQL?

If you make sure that no user on the system has select privileges on the underlying tables, than nobody will be able to select from them.
