For some reason you always get a 0 back from GRANT. There's probably some internal reason for this. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: Newbie: Can't get GRANT to work
http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/r/Privilege_changes.html If you modify the grant tables manually (using INSERT, UPDATE, etc.), you should execute a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement or run mysqladmin flush-privileges or mysqladmin reload to tell the server to reload the grant tables. Otherwise your changes will have no effect until you restart the server. If you change the grant tables manually but forget to reload the privileges, you will be wondering why your changes don't seem to make any difference!

Re: Newbie: Can't get GRANT to work
Yes, I've read this a number of times too. I've also read the section that says If you use GRANT, you don't need to use FLUSH PRIVILEGES. The way that I read this is that GRANT is the automatic method, not requiring FLUSH PRIVILEGES, whereas modifying the tables directly, using INSERT, UPDATE, etc. does require the use of FLUSH PRIVILEGES. Here's the proof: www:~ # mysql -p mysql mysql grant all on zope.* to zope identified by ccpzope; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec) mysql select * from user where user=zope; +--+--+--+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+---+--+---++-+++ | Host | User | password | Select_priv | Insert_priv | Update_priv | |Delete_priv | Create_priv | Drop_priv | Reload_priv | Shutdown_priv | Process_priv | |File_priv | Grant_priv | References_priv | Index_priv | Alter_priv | +--+--+--+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+---+--+---++-+++ | %| zope | 34577362486f3680 | N | N | N | N | | N | N | N | N | N| N || N | N | N | N | +--+--+--+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+---+--+---++-+++ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) mysql Thanks for trying to give me a hand. I'm open to other suggestions. -Kevin Zembower Chris Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/14/01 02:46PM http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/r/Privilege_changes.html If you modify the grant tables manually (using INSERT, UPDATE, etc.), you should execute a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement or run mysqladmin flush-privileges or mysqladmin reload to tell the server to reload the grant tables.
