GRANT command question
I have recently set up mySQL on a Mandrake release of Linux (Version 7 of Mandrake, I believe), using the binary 4.0.13 standard release. The set up and start up all were normal, as far as I could tell, with no warnings or error messages. In nearly all respects, the database appears to be running as expected. I have the book "PHP and mySQL Web Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson, and have been working through the examples there. The question I have is about the GRANT command, and the apparent results there. I don't know if my problem is one of understanding what the results should be, or if I have another problem. I am attempting to set up an administrative user, that has the same privileges as root. I have been able to set up a user that appears to have all privileges, with the exception of GRANT privileges to other users. This user can create new database tables, insert records, modify them, delete them and so on. But, when this user tries to GRANT privileges on any database, even ones it has created, an 'access denied' error is generated. I am obviously missing some part of the process, but I am not sure what it is. Can you explain the piece I am missing? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks. Charles Cantrell PS: I submitted a much more detailed message showing the GRANT table set up and so on, but it was rejected by the filters. If this information would help someone answer my question, let me know and I can send it directly, maybe. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Grant Privileges

This user can create new database tables, insert records, modify them, delete them and so on. But, when this user tries to GRANT privileges on any database, even ones it has created, an 'access denied' error is generated. I have pasted a session below. (I hope that wrapping does not make this difficult to read.) mysql> show grants for chc; +--- ---+ | Grants for [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +--- ---+ | GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON *.* TO 'chc| | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mysql`.`aec2003` TO 'chc'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION | | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mysql`.`mysql` TO 'chc'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION | +--- ---+ 3 rows in set (0.01 sec) mysql> GRANT ALL -> ON *.* -> TO fred IDENTIFIED BY 'classy' -> WITH GRANT OPTION; ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) mysql> Now, if I change this GRANT command as follows: mysql> GRANT ALL -> ON aec2003 -> TO fred IDENTIFIED BY 'classy' -> WITH GRANT OPTION; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Then, as shown in the results, the query appears to function as desired. However, when I then attempt to log in as fred, again access is denied: [EMAIL PROTECTED] chc]$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] chc]$ mysql -u fred -p Enter password: ** ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) [EMAIL PROTECTED] chc]$ even though when we check the GRANT table, the results are: mysql> show grants for fred; +--- -+ | Grants for [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +--- -+ | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'fred'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '677e059523c257eb' | | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mysql`.`aec2003` TO 'fred'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION | +--- -+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) I am obviously missing some part of the process, but I am not sure what it is. Can you explain the piece I am missing? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.
