i've installed distro-packaged MDB
mariadb -V
mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.4.13-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64)
using readline 5.1
on
lsb_release -rd
Description: Arch Linux
Release: rolling
uname -rm
5.7.3-arch1-1 x86_64
i'd like to modify & delete/restore my 'root' user; an exercise in recovery ...
starting with a clean install,
mysql -e "
SELECT User, Host, HEX(authentication_string)
FROM mysql.user;"
"
+-------------+-----------+----------------------------+
| User | Host | HEX(authentication_string) |
+-------------+-----------+----------------------------+
| mariadb.sys | localhost | |
| root | localhost | 696E76616C6964 |
| mysql | localhost | 696E76616C6964 |
+-------------+-----------+----------------------------+
mysql -e "
SELECT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR \'', user ,'\'@\'', host, '\';')
FROM mysql.user
WHERE user = 'root';
"
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR \'', user ,'\'@\'', host, '\';') |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'localhost'; |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
adding grants & mod'ing,
mysql
>
REVOKE ALL ON *.* FROM 'root'@'localhost';
REVOKE GRANT OPTION ON *.* FROM 'root'@'localhost';
REVOKE ALL ON *.* FROM 'root'@'%';
REVOKE GRANT OPTION ON *.* FROM 'root'@'%';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket;
ALTER USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
works as expected
mysql -e "
SELECT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR \'', user ,'\'@\'', host, '\';')
FROM mysql.user
WHERE user = 'root';
"
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR \'', user ,'\'@\'', host, '\';') |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'%'; |
| SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'localhost'; |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
mysql -e "
SELECT CONCAT('plugin: ', plugin, ' \'', user, '\'@\'', host, '\';')
FROM mysql.user
WHERE user = 'root';
"
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| CONCAT('plugin: ', plugin, ' \'', user, '\'@\'', host,
'\';') |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| plugin: unix_socket 'root'@'localhost';
|
| plugin: unix_socket 'root'@'%';
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
mysql -e "
SELECT User, Host, HEX(authentication_string) FROM mysql.user;
"
+-------------+-----------+----------------------------+
| User | Host | HEX(authentication_string) |
+-------------+-----------+----------------------------+
| mariadb.sys | localhost | |
| root | localhost | |
| mysql | localhost | 696E76616C6964 |

it fails
ERROR 1471 (HY000): The target table user of the INSERT is not

what different/additional steps are required to recreate a deleted root user?
