I rarely need to add users to a running setup but I always seem to run
into the same sort of problem: I grant privs to a user but they refuse
to show up. This user will be the one a web application goes through to
access the DB.
As the root user:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON the_database.*
-> TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'the_password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
"0 rows affected" on the GRANT suggests that not much was accomplished.
SELECT * FROM user WHERE User = 'the_user'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Host: localhost
User: the_user
Password: *XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Select_priv: N
Insert_priv: N
Update_priv: N
Delete_priv: N

max_questions: 0
max_updates: 0
max_connections: 0
max_user_connections: 0
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I then tried:
UPDATE user SET
Insert_priv = 'Y',
Update_priv = 'Y',
Select_priv = 'Y'
WHERE User = 'the_user';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Which gives me what I expected:
Select_priv: Y
Insert_priv: Y
Update_priv: Y
But I still cannot update any tables as this user.
I know that I've resolved this issue before but it's been ages since
I've run into this (I generally use Postgres but I've been using MySQL
since 3.23, so this is a little embarassing).
I *can* connect to the DB as this user, and select from tables. I just
can't update them:
UPDATE command denied to user 'the_user'@'localhost'
for table 'customer'
Where the heck am i going wrong?
