Hi, all --
I am having a bit of trouble with GRANT and users and database access. I
would like to do two things:
- - Given a system user 'junk' I would like to create a "master" user
'junk' that can have all permissions (including grant?) on all 'junk_*'
databases so that he can create and manage his own databases
- - Given a "master" user 'junk' I would like for that user to be able to
create other users 'junkNN' or or 'junk-*' or whatever so that my good
friend junk is not always acting as "root".
I have tried
mysql> grant all privileges on junk_* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'junk';
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '* to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
identified by 'junk'' at line 1
mysql> grant all privileges on junk_.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'junk';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.24 sec)
and so I guess the way to specify database matching is with pure regexp
notation of '.*' for 'any character any number of times', and my tables
now look like
mysql> select * from mysql.db where user = 'junk' ;
| localhost | junk_ | junk | Y | Y | Y | Y |
Y | Y | N | Y | Y | Y |
mysql> select * from mysql.user where user = 'junk' ;
| localhost | junk | 372b3ff6545565e4 | N | N | N | N
| N | N | N | N | N | N
| N | N | N | N |
and I can even log in
bash-2.05a$ mysql -ujunk -pjunk
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
but I can't create a database
mysql> create database junk_testing ;
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to database 'junk_testing'
OK, I figure, I'll create the DB as root and then get to it as junk, and
work around the problem later. But that doesn't work, either!
bash-2.05a$ mysql -u droot -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> create database junk_test ;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.30 sec)
mysql> quit;
Bye
bash-2.05a$ mysql -ujunk -pjunk
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> use junk_test ;
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to database 'junk_test'
Maybe I have to re-grant, too. Grrr...
bash-2.05a$ mysql -u droot -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> grant all privileges on junk_.* to junk ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> quit ;
Bye
bash-2.05a$ mysql -ujunk -pjunk
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> use junk_test ;
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to database 'junk_test'
mysql>
OK, now I'm just mad :-) Let's try granting to this specific database
just to get things going.
bash-2.05a$ mysql -u droot -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> grant all privileges on junk_test to junk ;
ERROR 1046: No Database Selected
mysql> use mysql ;
Database changed
mysql> grant all privileges on junk_test to junk ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
mysql> quit
Bye
bash-2.05a$ mysql -ujunk -pjunk
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> use junk_test ;
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to database 'junk_test'
mysql>
Not only am I a little confused about having had to use a database before
I could grant privs, but it didn't work anyway!
I give up. Haaaalp! :-)
TIA & HAND
mysql query,
:-D
