Dear list, no one has answered my question up to now. Looking through the manual again today, I still can't figure out what to do.
> just upgraded from MySQL 4.0.3 to 4.0.7 on my Win2K box at home. The problem is, I still have the _old_ privileges in my mysql tables, not the new ones like super, show database etc. All the manual (and the user notes) are telling me is that I have to run the mysql_fix_privilege_tables script. But where can I find it? It's not in the MySQL Windows distribution.
