I'm not sure if we can call it a bug. But spending 8 seconds (and using 100% CPU) for a simple SHOW DATABASES query is a bit too much, and should be fixed. mysqld first reads directories name from its data directory, then loops over all names and does the following check: if (thd->master_access & (DB_ACLS | SHOW_DB_ACL) || acl_get(thd->host, thd->ip, thd->priv_user, file_name,0) || (grant_option && !check_grant_db(thd, file_name))) If a query runs faster when user has access to more DBs, then the problem most likely lies within check_grant_db function. But it all needs more careful investigation. -- Alexey Polyakov -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
