It means that you can use CURRENT_USER() function to know username and hostname that the current session was authenticated as. And then you can use this info in the SHOW GRANTS statement. For example: mysql> SELECT CURRENT_USER(); +----------------+ | CURRENT_USER() | +----------------+ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED]; +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Grants for [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'egor'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '332ab33958e81d12' | | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `egor`.* TO 'egor'@'localhost' | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) > On Tue, 23 Dec 2003 12:47:11 +0200 > Egor Egorov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Plinio Conti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > >> > The manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SHOW_GRANTS.html >> > says: >> > >> > "To list grants for the current session one may use CURRENT_USER() function" >> > >> > But if I run >> > "SELECT SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER(); >> > >> > I get syntax error (Error 1064). >> > >> > While if I run directly >> > "SELECT SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED];" >> > >> > It works.
