One problem is that the structure of the grant tables in the mysql database changed in 4.0.2. Under Unix, you could use the strategy above and then run the mysql_fix_privilege_tables script to update the grant tables. But that's a shell script; unfortunately, there is no equivalent Windows script. > >John Coder --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
