GRANT and mysql.user table
I tried as root having GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES with GRANT OPTION to change the privilege of a user: GRANT ALL ON mydb.* TO myUser; The result of this statement is that the query is OK and 0 rows are affected.

Is the mysql.db table part of the granting? thanks in advance for your help. laurie Most likely, nothing is preventing the granting of privileges. Users in mysql are [EMAIL PROTECTED] With GRANT statements, '%' is the default host, so if you grant to myuser, as opposed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], you are creating/modifying [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/grant.html The user table holds global privileges. You are granting a db-specific privilege. That goes in the 'db' table. Hence, your statement should not have modified the user tablle. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/privileges.html Trying to read and interpret the mysql db tables is definitely not the best way to verify user privileges. Use SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED]; instead. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/show-grants.html Michael -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
