Dear Lenz,Removed variable `safe_show_database' as it was not used anymore.What will ISPs say about this one? They use 'safe_show_database' for their MySQL setups, so their customers on virtual MySQL hosts cannot see other customers' databases. (It's more likely that you won't attack something which you cannot see.) Or am I missing out on something?
Functionality is still there, but implemented at the place it belongs to.
Pay attention on Privlieges tables 4.0.5 uses. You will see there is:
`Show_db_priv` enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N'
i.e. User must be granted explicitly this privilege in order to be able to use:
SHOW DATABASES;
Suggested way for setting this Ptivilege is ofcourse command:
GRANT SHOW DATABASES;
I hope you will agree that this approach provides much better flexibility and is more natural than mysqld starting option.
If you still have concerns, please don't hesitate to share them with us.
