I thought that on a database level, it created a record in "db" with all "N" for each privilege? Either way: rather stupid statement then. Why doesn't it raise an error if it's invalid/ignored? Guess it's another MySQL Gotcha?? This, however, works in MySQL 5 (latest) and creates a row in "db": grant usage on test.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with grant option All privileges "N" except "grant_priv". Which is useless as well, in this case, correct? > > Besides, having a user without privileges might be useful as well :-) > > Exactly what USAGE is for.. ;) With regards, Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - tool for InterBase, Firebird, MySQL, Oracle & MS SQL Server Upscene Productions http://www.upscene.com Database development questions?
