I have a set of tables that contain sensitive user information. I need to use this data for validation BUT I don't want the end user to have access to read this data. In MSSQL I used to be able to create a stored proc to do the work (even though the user didn't have access to the table). I was wondering if there is a way to do this in MySQL.
In a nut shell, this table contains user account information included encoded password. I want to be able to pass a username and password to the stored proc and return the valid user ID (or no RS of none is found). Basically, here is the stored proc. It works, but only for root. Is it possible to allow user to execute this without having SELECT access to the table users? If so, how?
