Internally, MySQL uses a special set of (otherwise ordinary) tables to
store much of its configuration information, including user names and
passwords. The table that holds that information is what it's referring
to.
Have you already created the user 'mary'? You must first create each
user with the GRANT command.
When I was starting out, I found the "MySQL
Tutorial" (<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0672325845>) to have about
the right level of detail and scope to get me going. If your needs are
more sophisticated, then the "MySQL Administrator's
Manual" (<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0672326345>) might be more
appropriate.
