I'm using MySQL 4.1 (I think... a late 4 anyway) on a Gentoo box.  It's only
a semi-live situation and no need for security just yet.

After messing with privileges a bit, I decided to revoke whatever privileges
are already applied and specifically grant only the ones I need (using a
shell script).  To revoke, the obvious choice was to use (if I can remember
it correctly):

mysql> revoke ALL on *.* from '%'

However, I'm getting an error about that privilege not applied, and I've
read it's because ALL isn't an alias for all privileges, it's a privilege in
itself.  I think this is the reason I can't remove it!  So, the question is,
how can I revoke all the permissions that have been applied to a database
(recursing into table/columns etc.) ?

Many thanks,
Steve :)
