I seem to have run into a problem with a host name that incorporates a hyphen:
mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY "foo";
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '-dev.foo.com IDENTIFIED BY "foo"' at line 1
mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" IDENTIFIED BY "foo";
ERROR 1145: The host or user argument to GRANT is too long
I must be missing something very obvious--how to incorporate a hostname with a hyphen, for instance. Can someone help?
Quote it. Better yet, always quote usernames *and* hostnames to avoid the problem entirely: 'me'@'mysite-dev.foo.com'
Note that the username and hostname are quoted separately.
