Maxim,
I posted a very similar question yesterday and got a very helpful reply.
Please see it below:
Databases are essentially just directories. What you do is create a
directory in the users home directory. Then, do this:
ln -s /path/to/home/dbdir /path/to/mysql/data/dir/somedbname
Then grant the user access to that db. Your all set :)
