missing something obvious w/grant statement length?
I seem to have run into a problem with a host name that incorporates a hyphen: mysql GRANT ALL ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY foo; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '-dev.foo.com IDENTIFIED BY foo' at line 1 mysql GRANT ALL ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY foo; ERROR 1145: The host or user argument to GRANT is too long I must be missing something very obvious--how to incorporate a hostname with a hyphen, for instance.

Can someone help? Quote it. Better yet, always quote usernames *and* hostnames to avoid the problem entirely: 'me'@'mysite-dev.foo.com' Note that the username and hostname are quoted separately. -- Paul DuBois, Senior Technical Writer Madison, Wisconsin, USA MySQL AB, www.mysql.com Are you MySQL certified? http://www.mysql.com/certification/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can someone help? The syntax is a bit weird for GRANT statements; either side of [EMAIL PROTECTED] are two separate args to be stored in two separate columns. This should work...

What if you wanted to include a '@' character in your username? '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'-style quoting wouldn't allow that. :-) This should work...

What I meant was that the syntax for a GRANT statement replaces a series of INSERT/UPDATE statements on the mysql db, and as such, while succinct, it's not always entirely intuitive. Another example of that is the IDENTIFIED BY 'password' clause. It took me a few times to remember that it automatically called PASSWORD() on 'password' -- then again, I came into GRANT statements from first doing the INSERT/UPDATE calls manually. :) -- Mike Johnson Web Developer/Systems Asst.
