I was trying to allocate a new user and I typed something like:
grant all privileges on pail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'hill';
Here you grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] all privileges on a table named pail.
I realized I made a mistake needing to specify (at least) 'pail.*', intending to grant the user access to a database I created. So to clean up I tried:
revoke all privileges on mysql.pail from jill; ERROR 1141: There is no such grant defined for user 'jill' on host '%'
You didn't specify the host (localhost), so you got the default, which is %. You don't have a user named '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', however, so you got an error.
In the privilege tables there is an entry for the user in 'user' and an entry in 'tables_priv'. Nothing any where else. The entries look reasonable (to me).
In user: all privileges='N'; In pail:
Table_priv: Select,Insert,Update,Delete,Create,Drop,References,Index,Alter
I assume this is my error and I can remove the two entries manually but I would like to know what I am doing wrong.
You can clean up with
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then use
GRANT ALL ON pail.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'hill'
to grant rights to the pail db.
