This is just a regular table with a user and host column. If you wanted to delete the localhost row, you'd do delete from mysql.user where user='mail_admin' and host='localhost'; flush privileges; You'd need to flush privileges because you're munging the user table. But it's probably much better to use the DROP USER command. --keith -- kkeller-use...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
