mysql> grant all on guestbook.* to jim@localhost identified by

“pword”;

This command makes all the necessary changes to the user and db tables.

The first part of the grantstatement can take the argument all(which must be

followed by WITH GRANT if it’s really to grant all privileges), or it can take any of

the options listed in the user table Most often you are granting rights to use SQL

statements (select, create, alter, delete, drop, index, insert, and update).

The second portion of the grantstatement (on guestbookin the example)

iden-tifies where privileges are to be applied: universally, to a single database, to tables,

or to columns Table E-1 shows how to indicate where privileges should be applied.

TABLEE-1 SETTING PERMISSIONS

grant all on *.* Rights are universal; inserted into the user

tablegrant all on database.* Rights apply to all tables in a single database

grant all on database.table_name Rights apply to a single table

grant all(col1, col2) Rights apply only to specific columns in a

on database.table_name specific database and table

The third portion of the grant statement (to jim@localhost in the example)

indicates the user to be given access As we mentioned earlier, MySQL needs both a

name and a host In the grantstatement these are separated by the @symbol.

Finally, the identified by portion of the grant statement gives the user a

password

Here are a few more examples of grantstatements:

grant select, update, insert on guestbook2k.guestbook to

alvin@localhost identified by “pword”;

The preceding statement allows alvin to view, update, and insert records into the

table guestbook in database guestbook2k.

grant select, update (name, url) on guestbook2k.guestbook to

chipmunk@localhost identified by “pword”;

With the preceding statement the user can view and update only two columns (nameand url) No deletes or inserts are allowed.

grant all on *.* to josh@localhost identified by “pword” WITH GRANTOPTION;

The preceding statement gives this user all privileges, which means that josh@localhostis even allowed to grant privileges to other users

The revoke statement

If you want to remove some of a user’s privileges, you can use the revokestatement.

To remove shutdown privileges from a user who had been granted all privileges, like josh in the preceding example, you can run the following:

revoke Shutdown on *.* from josh@localhost;

Notice that the word from is used in the revoke statement in place of to Otherwise revokeworks just like grant.

To remove a user entirely you must run a deletestatement against the usertable Because the user is identified by a name and a host, the followingshould do it:

delete from user where user=’username’ and host=’hostname’

Reloading grants

The grant tables are loaded into memory when the MySQL daemon is started.

Changes made to the grant tables that do not make use of the grantcommand do

not take effect until you tell MySQL to reload the grant tables You can do this in

the shell with the mysqladminprogram:

shell> mysqladmin flush-privileges

or in the mysqlclient with the flush privilegescommand Just run:

flush privileges

version 4 To keep up on exactly what’s available in PHP, and to check out what

new functions are available in PHP 5, make sure to check in with the online
