With "mysql -u dmiller -p", the hostname will be "localhost" (the default). Obviously, there is an entry in the privilege table mysql.user which takes precedence over '%'. You have two ways to solve this problem: 1) GRANT ALL ON devin.* TO 'dmiller'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; 2) mysql -h machine_name -u dmiller -p In case #2, you have to substitute <machine_name> by the name of the machine you are connecting from. Don't use 'localhost', though ;-) If you're curious as to why and how: http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_MySQL_Database _Administration.html#Connection_access Regards, -- Stefan Hinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Geschäftsführer / CEO iConnect GmbH <http://iConnect.de> Heesestr. 6, 12169 Berlin (Germany) Tel: +49 30 7970948-0 Fax: +49 30 7970948-3 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Devin Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 9:03 PM Subject: Adding a user problem > I am pretty new to mysql and have been teaching myself slowly how to use it. > I am however stuck on a problem.
