jeff = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
not [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So in your statement you should have used...
grant all on databaseName.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED];
> select user,host from user; returns
> jeff localhost
>
> In Java, I use:

>

> set password for jeff = password('xyz');
Similarly... you need to use [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> now select user,host, password from user; returns 2 rows
> jeff localhost
> jeff % *4232432323
>

> Then I get an authentication failed error.
Connector/J on 'nix types, only works via TCP/IP. Your app may be trying to
connect via unix socket. If the user/password fix does not work specify
127.0.0.1 in your connection setting (or even omit host since 127.0.0.1 is
default host value). Also, make sure your MySQL server is listening via
TCP/IP. If it is not, be sure to take the necessary security precautions
before doing so, and/or just enable TCP/IP on 127.0.0.1 (the user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is valid for connections on 127.0.0.1).
