You may want to do the following instead:
GRANT ALL ON 'database'.'table' TO 'user'@'host' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
- the PRIVILEGES keyword is redundant.
- database can be * for all databases.
- table can be * for all tables
- user is the user to pass to mysql after the -u option when connecting
- host is the host to pss to mysql after the -h option if the database is
on a different computer than the one on which you run mysql
- password is what goes after the -p option (-p'password')
- WITH GRANT OPTION means that this user can create other users with this
GRANT command.
This must surely help,
Enjoy,
