Add Arrange New Column
I have an existing table with a few columns I created a few months ago. Sadly I left out the column I would like to use for my Primary Key and wanted to know what is the best way to add a column to an existing table but also I want the column to appear first before any other columns since it's the 'id' column and will be set to PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL.

Capitalize Input via Auto Complete?
I am new to MySQL coming from PostgreSQL noticed a really annoying issue. When I select a database, and try to auto complete in MySQL, it doesn't capitalize the MySQL statements. It's irritating to me to only be able to auto complete statements like 'SELECT', 'ALTER', 'INSERT' only if I hold down the shift key or caps lock key while typing. Is there a way to force MySQL to auto complete commonly used statements while typing them in lowercase which is normal behavior in PostgreSQL?

Searching For Modules In a DB
I have a database called 'gaming' and with in that database there are several tables and data. I was asked to find a module called 'ako ldap' and disable it (setting it from 1 to 0). My question is how in MySQL do I search for a string if I don't even know what table to search in? I know how to search using the 'select' statement as long as I know where the table data is. In this case I only know which database but nothing more except what I am looking for.

Re: Allowing Connections From Remote Clients
Guys - I am no expert but I don't think this is a DNS or rDNS issue. All resolution appears to be working fine. When my PC (tuna) attempts to connect to the MySQL server via MySQL Workbench, it says Failed to Connect to MySQL at mysql.iamghost.com:3306 with user root Host 'tuna.iamghost.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server. It resolves the correct name for the server and the client, I just don't know how to allow my client (tuna) to be able to connect to MySQL server. Any thoughts? I really want to connect to my database using this tool but I am missing something. MySQL is rejecting incoming connections from my host machine that I have WorkBench installed on.

Verify User Privileges
I would like to know how I can verify what privileges have been granted to a specific user on MySQL. I don't remember if my user 'carlos' has specific privileges on 'mydb' database. I am sure I could simply re-run the following command: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydb.* TO 'carlos'@'localhost' - WITH GRANT OPTION; I really would like to avoid redundant commands if I could verify that my user 'carlos' already has the neccessary privileges on the specific database(s) in question.

Recommend A Backup User / Privileges?
I downloaded a MySQL script that backs up all my databases automatically which looks to work amazing. My question is in this particular script (linked below) there is a section to add a user name and password for someone who has access to the databases I am attempting to backup with the script. Now I could just place the MySQL root user or my own user (admin) account in here which has a plain text password exposed in the configuration for all to see. Should I create a generic user in MySQL just for backup roles and privileges? I don't know enough about GRANT OPTIONS or backups to know if I can create a dummy user and give him only what he requires to backup the databases safely or if this script requires the root or someone with GRANT ALL OPTIONS enabled. http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ Thanks for any info! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
Recommend A Backup User / Privileges?
I downloaded a MySQL backup script today since I have 3 or 4 relatively small databases. The script can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ Now I was wondering if I can create a local database user 'backup'@'localhost' grant him a level of permissions needed to perform a 'mysqldump' so he can backup the databases to an directory on the server. My Question is what level or permissions does a user need to perform a 'mysqldump' on a database since that particular user's password will be entered into the script noted above via plain text. I am scared the password will be compromised that would be bad if it's root or someone who has GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.*. Can you guys recommend something for me here? I don't really know enough about MySQL 'grant' permissions to determine which would work or if the 'backup' user would require high level privileges. -Carlos -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

Secure Install Removed Root Accounts
Today I installed MySQL 5.1.45-1 on my production server and it recommended that I run the following: /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation When I ran this, it simply guided me to do the following: - set root password - disable remote login for root - remove 'anonymous' user accounts - delete 'test' database - reload privileges now After doing all the above, I checked my user table and noticed that it also removed 'r...@127.0.0.1' 'r...@hostname' accounts.
