Greetings all, I have taken it upon myself to try and learn MySQL management this weekend! No more using root for everything anymore! However, I cannot seem to do anything but create a login.
I have tried to build an extrmely simply Forum using MySQL and PHP. I can create the DB and TABLES as MySQL root without any problems. Its just trying to create an administrative user that I run into the problems. Ideally I would like to be able to create a MySQL user account, where that user can create there own DB, and do whatever the heck they want to it, while not being able to do anything with any other DB. Please find a list of all my efforts below. Based on what I have read, these attempts should have satisfied my goals 3 times over. Anyway, if some can see any mistakes or ommissions, I would love to hear it! mysql> INSERT INTO user VALUES('localhost','ForumUser',PASSWORD('forum123'),'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'forum123' WITH GRANT OPTION; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec) mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP -> ON *.* -> TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> IDENTIFIED BY 'forum123'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Spider:/usr/bin# mysql -u ForumUser Welcome to the MySQL monitor.
