I tried as root having GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES with GRANT OPTION
to change the privilege of a user:
GRANT ALL ON mydb.* TO myUser;
The result of this statement is that the query is OK and 0 rows are
affected.
WHen I look at the mysql table holding the grants: user, the myUser row
is unchanged.
What could possibly be preventing the system from changing the GRANT of
myUser?
Is the mysql.db table part of the granting?
thanks in advance for your help.

Most likely, nothing is preventing the granting of privileges.
Users in mysql are [EMAIL PROTECTED] With GRANT statements, '%' is the
default host, so if you grant to myuser, as opposed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], you are
creating/modifying [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/grant.html>
The user table holds global privileges. You are granting a db-specific
privilege. That goes in the 'db' table. Hence, your statement should not
have modified the user tablle.
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/privileges.html>
Trying to read and interpret the mysql db tables is definitely not the best
way to verify user privileges. Use
SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED];
instead. <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/show-grants.html>
