mysql user name length
Hi all, Is there any reason why I shouldn't increase the size of the allowable user names in mysql to var(32) instead of the default var(16) ??? Couldn't really find much on it, but wanted to ask if anyone knows of any troubles this may cause...

Database creation privileges
Hi all, ok, I thought I had it figured out. I am using 4.1.9 now, and it looks like it behaves a little bit differently (or maybe not) than the previous 4.0.20 did when it comes to privileges. I want to create a user that does not have the ability to create databases. But, I do want them to be able to create tables in a specific database. Currently, I create the user in the global user table, and give then no privileges. Then, when I create a database, I assign them the privileges to that database by using a command like this : GRANT select,insert,update,delete,create,drop ON dbname.* to username@'%' identified by 'userpass'; This seems to work, but when that user logs in, they are able to create a database ! If I don't have the create privilege specified, then they aren't able to create tables, which I want them to be able to do... Is there a way to assign a user to a database, and give them the ability to do anything within that database, but not create another database Thanks, Tim. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
