I'm having problems with figuring out how this would work on CFMX6.1 (with 
MySQL 4.1.3 beta).

Perhaps some kind person with experience of MySQL/MX, could advise on this 
lovely Friday afternoon.

In CFAdmin, when the database is registered, you give a username and 
password, and the only one which seems to work here is the root user and 
password (ie superuser) set in MySQL, which is fair enough if you want to 
grant all users on your site access to all db functions. But naturally, 
one doesn't want to do that.

So I tried creating another entity (webuser) with an appropriate password, 
that has only 'select' privileges, within MySQL. But if I use this 
username/password in a cfquery, it is naturally rejected (are you sure 
you've got MySQL server running on 3306?'), no doubt because it is 
expecting the initial registered username/password combination (which 
works, of course).

What I'd like to set up is a set of 'accounts' in which superuser has all 
privs, 'webuser' has select only, and 'webadmin' has select, update, 
insert, delete privileges.

The application concerned is not one in which logging in just to view data 
is an option. Logging in to do admin work, however, is required.

Anyone know how this is done with MySQL? Am I on a hiding to nothing with 
this? Is my brain fried?

Cheers
Terry
