Database changed
MariaDB [mysql]> UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';
ERROR 1356 (HY000): View 'mysql.user' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them
Please do not try to change system tables that could result in an unusable system. For exact that reason mysql.user table was changed to a read only view years ago.
Changing authentication plugin, password etc. should be done via ALTER USER SQL command.

I can't see users in phpmyadmin on windows server 2012. It gives the error:
Not enough privilege to view users.
Warning in .\libraries\classes\Dbi\DbiMysqli.php#213 mysqli_query(): (HY000/1194): Table 'user' is marked as crashed and
should be repaired
How can I resolve this error?
The error, Not enough privilege to view users in phpmyadmin can also occur when importing an older MySQL database into a newer MariaDB instance via a SQL dump due to changes in how the users are stored.
Other symptoms include:
The command select * FROM mysql.user; returns the error message:
ERROR 1356 (HY000): View 'mysql.user' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them
The command select * FROM mysql.tables_priv; returns an empty result set.
The solution:
As the database root user, run the following queries:
use mysql;
INSERT INTO `tables_priv` (`Host`, `Db`, `User`, `Table_name`, `Grantor`, `Timestamp`, `Table_priv`, `Column_priv`) VALUES ('localhost','mysql','mariadb.sys','global_priv','root#localhost','0000-00-00 00:00:00','Select,Delete','');
Then restart the MariaDB server.

You have to repair your user table. Use a SQL query like 'REPAIR TABLE user' or repair it using phpmyadmin .
I am using mysql-server 5.5.41-0+wheezy1 on Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64
I have problems (not related to mysql) on some on my web app that uses mysql table so I am doing a re-install of the app
I started with aptitude remove packagename to remove my app and mysql-server, but it seems that it did not remove/delete the currently used mysql databases
When I reinstall mysql-server the previous database still used. I drop the previous user to create a new one using the command drop user olduser and also I drop the old database drop database olddb
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
+--------------------+
Now when I recreate the database with new name, it is a sucess, but if I recreate the same old user create user 'olduser'#'localhost' identified by 'somesecret'; it will always say ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'olduser'#'localhost' Creating a different user is a success, but this problem of recreating the same old user is bugging me. Is there something wrong or something I missed?
I have tried flush privileges
Well it's kinda hard to debug this without having any access to the database, this error is common with MySQL, but normally a FLUSH PRIVILEGES fix it. Anyway, if really the user is dropped you can bypass it that way :
CREATE USER 'anyuser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'test123';
UPDATE mysql.user SET USER='olduser' WHERE USER='anyuser';
Note that to completly remove an user, you must delete all datas associated to it in these tables : columns_priv, db, procs_priv, tables_priv. Then finally execute flush privileges.
From the doc :
DROP USER does not automatically drop or invalidate databases or
objects within them that the old user created. This includes stored
programs or views for which the DEFINER attribute names the dropped
user. Attempts to access such objects may produce an error if they
execute in definer security context. (For information about security
context, see Section 18.5, “Access Control for Stored Programs and
Views”.)
I have a PHP script that calls MySQL's LOAD DATA INFILE to load data from CSV files. However, on production server, I ended up with the following error:
Access denied for user ... (using password: yes)
As a quick workaround, I changed the command to LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE which worked. However, the same command failed on client's server with this message:
The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version
I assume this has something to do with the server variable: local_infile = off as described here.
Please suggest a workaround that does not involve changing server settings. Note that phpMyAdmin utility installed on the same server appears to accept CSV files though I am not sure it it uses LOAD DATA (LOCAL) INFILE.
Ran into the same issue as root and threw me for a moment
could be an issue with your server settings set with compile
to test login to console with the same user and try your load data command
if you get the same error, try closing console and running
mysql -u USER -p --local-infile=1 DATABASE
now try running load data command again
if it works then you're going to need to restart mysqld with command line option or re-install with configuration option

I found that I need to connect to database like this:
$dbh=mysql_connect($server,$dbuser,$dbpass,false,128);
Passing 128 in the flags parameter is the key.
See http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.constants.php#mysql.client-flags to read more about the flags.
take a look to this permission list, you can add them separately, IE. you can insert but not update, or you can delete but not select, etc...
ALL [PRIVILEGES] Grant all privileges at specified access level except GRANT OPTION
ALTER Enable use of ALTER TABLE
ALTER ROUTINE Enable stored routines to be altered or dropped
CREATE Enable database and table creation
CREATE ROUTINE Enable stored routine creation

CREATE VIEW Enable views to be created or altered
DELETE Enable use of DELETE

USAGE Synonym for “no privileges”
I think you have permision to select, delete, insert, update, but no to do other stuff,
use this command:
SHOW GRANTS
he will show you what you are able to to, in my case.

I have just installed MySQL on Debian 7.0.0.
I successfully imported by database from another system using
mysql -u root -p DBName <mysql27May13.dump
I then successfully logged onto MySQL using
mysql -u root -p
I then successfully selected the database using
use DBName;
Also
show tables;
showed the tables I imported. However, when I try to change the root user name using
update user set user='SomeNewName' where user='root';
I get the error message
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'DBName.user' doesn't exist
If you want to change a MySQL username you should use RENAME USER
RENAME USER root#localhost TO other_user#localhost
The table you want to update -- user, in this case -- is not within your database (which I assume is called DBName, here). The database you need is, in fact, simply called mysql.
You can work around this in a few ways:
Run your update on mysql.user instead of user.
use mysql before you do the update.
Use the supplied RENAME keyword to do the job instead, as #ExplosionPills suggests.
I'd suggest always taking approach #3 for user management unless you know for sure you're trying to do something the built-in commands can't handle. Chances are, you're not -- and if you are, you'll know it.
I run this command in mysql:
mysql > show databases;
My database called publications is there so I want to use it:
mysql > USE publications
But I get an error:
ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'publications'
mysql > CREATE DATABASE publications;
ERROR 1007 (HY000): Can't create database 'publications'; database exists
Have I corrupted something? It is on XAMPP on thumb drive. What does this error mean?
you may not have permissions. open up the mysql database, and double check that mysql.db table has the user you are logged in as set up to read, write, etc.. as appropriate. after changing permissions, don't forget to FLUSH PRIVILEGES
