Hello Stéphane, error -3008 during creation of the replication user typically occurs in two cases:
- the database version is < 7.6.00.11 - the creator is not the SYSDBA. For the latter case, note that there is one and only one SYSDBA user, which is created during database instance creation. (installation default is "dbadmin"). A subsequently created "dba" type user can not create the replication user. Also, the "database manager operator" (default "dbm") which is used for administrative tasks like shutdown and restart, can not create the replication user. BTW, there should already be a replication user ("DBSERVICE" with password "SECRET") after creation of a 7.6.00.16 database instance. regards, Markus -----Original Message----- From: Stephane Davy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 3:04 PM To: maxdb@lists.mysql.com Subject: RE: can not create replication user Hello Markus, Thanks for your reply. Actually this is fresh download and I run a 7.6.00.16 database instance.
