Hi, I am sorry for asking stupid questions, but I am at the end of my trials. I simply want to setup a user who can connect from anywhere and write some table and read from another one. Here's what I do: GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT ON sessiondb.SESSION TO dataexport@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'; GRANT SELECT ON sessiondb.LANGUAGELIST TO dataexport@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'; GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT ON sessiondb.SESSION TO dataexport@"%" IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'; GRANT SELECT ON sessiondb.LANGUAGELIST TO dataexport@"%" IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Looking into the tables "tables_priv" and "user", everything looks good. So does the output of SHOW GRANTS for dataexport@localhost. However, it still doesn't work. (See output below.) Any ideas, what might be wrong?
