I don't know of a way to do exactly what you describe, but you can get the same effects by creating two accounts, one with only SELECT privileges and one with whatever write privileges you need. Then you application can simply decide which account to authenticate with. > I want to be able to give an added level of assurance that the user > will not be able to write to the database even if the application > controls are circumvented. That sounds like an excellent design decision. ----Scott. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
