Okay, that's correct. Let's see... ha, I didn't read your original message closely enough. Your first grant statement should says "ON testdb.*" rather than "ON testdb". The latter syntax grants privileges to "the testdb table in the current database", which isn't what you want.

I'll bet the real problem is that you're not being authenticated as testuser.
After you try connecting to the server as testuser, issue this query:
SELECT CURRENT_USER();
What's the result?

But the testuser can actually view all databases. That's not what I really want. I just want testuser can select and update testdb. But not others.
How can I restrict testuser only work on testdb?
Thanks.
