if MySQL implemented db view objects.. then this functionality could be done.. Could create a view as select * from table where <condition> then grant a user access to the View, not the table so they can only get the filtered resultset. This is how some larger db systems, like Oracle do it.
I forget if mysql is planning on having db View objects anytime but until then, yes, you would have to control this in application code.. -- Brian Lindner Saturday, January 4, 2003, 5:44:19 PM, you wrote: > At 14:39 -0800 1/4/03, Steven Nakhla wrote: >>I know I can restrict a user's access to a table with >>the GRANT command.
