I received the error CM> "ERROR 1141: There is not such grant defined for user 'userid' on host '%'". As I have told, you can't set "all privileges excluding one". Currently it's not supported. If you set global privileges, MySQL adds rows only to table "user" in mysql database. If you revoke grants from user on some databases (as mysql db), you change the "db" table in mysql database instead of table "user", but there are no records in table "db" which can determine grants for your root user :( CM> Any thoughts?
