Dear "- -": I would revoke all permissions for dummy, then create new permissions for users on a database-by-database basis. If you look at the syntax for GRANT in the manual, you can stipulate which databases a user would have access to.
A word of caution: don't use root. Create a user for yourself and give it full permissions, then use it to administer teh database.

There are 2 user accounts, root and dummy who can access to databases. I'm wondering how to restrict the accesss to mysql (the db which stores user id, password, etc...). Right now, both users can run select, delete, update... statements on this database. How do I set the permissions so that only root can view, modify, delete tables or data in this database? Thanks in advance, kaz _________________________________________________________________ Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
