hi,
i would like to discuss 'user management' in mysql. Working with Oracle
you can assign users to roles giving them privileges provided by that
role. MySql doesn't have Roles. I have read (Managing and Using MySql,
O'Reilly) 3 options on managing users having multiple roles in a MySql
environment:
1. Giving the user a Single user ID and assign the privileges to that
user ID
2. Create role-bases users and have different people share the same user
ID for a given role.
3. Create multiple user IDs for each role played by each user
(dannys_arch as an architect, dannys_dev as a developer).
Which of these 3 options is the most preferable one or are there more
options which you can use. What are the advantages and disadvantages on
working with one of these 3 options? how do you handle hostnames when
working with random ip-addresses on your site.
Or just plain simple (or stupid) what are your experiences on user
management in a MySql environment.
Best regards,
Danny Stolle
