I am brand new to MySQL, attempted to find help in documentation and archives, but to no avail. I have installed MySQL on a Windows NT platform and configured a root user and another user that will act as a client with read/write permissions to one, and only one, database. A new database (exported from Access 97 into MySQL) has been created, and is accessable, however not 'updateable' from either the root user or the client user using Visual Basics 'VisData' and MyODBC (GRANT was used as documentation states to create these users). The error message I am recieving is 'Database or object is read-only - Error 3027' when I attempt to modify or add. The 'mysql' database is fully accessable (read and write) from either user however, even though permissions have not been granted to the client user. My suspicion is that either user permissions are improper, or the is some sort of database 'read only flags'? i.e. I have to modify the table in some form. I read something in the manual about 'Named Pipes' with Windows, am I going in the right direction? Can you point me in the right direction, to documentation I should look at?
