How to change SHOW GRANTS Title in MySQL? - mysql

I have the following query:
MySQL [Database]> show grants for "user"#"%";
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for user#% |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'#'%' |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Now what I'm trying to do is to alter the Grants for user#% title, but the following statements throw an error:
show grants for "user"#"%" AS TEST;
show grants AS TEST for "user"#"%";
select * from (show grants AS Test for "user"#"%") as SUB;
I want to get the following result somehow:
MySQL [Database]> show grants for "user"#"%" AS TEST;
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TEST |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'#'%' |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The reason why I want to alter the title is, because the PHP framework I'm using, is converting the database query to an object and Grants for user#% would be object variable/field, which I need to call, which is very inconvenient.

If you don't like the result heading of SHOW GRANTS, you can piece together the information from tables in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
USER_PRIVILEGES
SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES
TABLE_PRIVILEGES
COLUMN_PRIVILEGES
I'll leave it as an exercise for you to write the SQL query to do that.

while creating and deleting user in mysql ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER

I am trying to create new user in mysql,
create user 'saravanakumar'#'localhost' identified by 'saravanakumar';
it shows error as,
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'saravanakumar'#'localhost'
after I read this
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'jack'#'localhost'
I delete user.But I can't.It shows

how can i delete all these user in table and how can i create a single user.What is the root cause of this problem? experts please help me.
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'saravanakumar'#'localhost'
Does indeed indicate that the user already exists or did exist.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES doesn't delete users.
Reloads the privileges from the grant tables in the mysql database.
The server caches information in memory as a result of GRANT, CREATE USER,
CREATE SERVER, and INSTALL PLUGIN statements. This memory is not released
by the corresponding REVOKE, DROP USER, DROP SERVER, and UNINSTALL PLUGIN
statements, so for a server that executes many instances of the statements
that cause caching, there will be an increase in memory use.
This cached memory can be freed with FLUSH PRIVILEGES.
You are looking for DROP USER.
DROP USER user [, user] ...
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/drop-user.html
Order of buisness would be:
DROP USER 'saravanakumar'#HOSTNAME;
CREATE USER 'saravanakumar'#HOSTNAME [IDENTIFIED BY 'password'];
You will probably need to flush privileges if you use delete from (do not).
Remember: this does not necessarily revoke all the privileges this user may have (like table privileges), you will have to do this yourself - if you don't you may not be able to recreate the user.
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM 'saravanakumar'#HOSTNAME;
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user='saravanakumar';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
CREATE USER 'saravanakumar'#HOSTNAME [IDENTIFIED BY 'password'];
"user" requires you to specify an account name
Syntax for account names is 'user_name'#'host_name'
and
An account name consisting only of a user name is equivalent
to 'user_name'#'%'. For example, 'me' is equivalent to 'me'#'%'.

Please read those bug reports for further clarification
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=28331
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=62255
To me works, I set hostname in UPPERCASE:
DROP USER 'user'#'LOCALHOST'
select User, Host from mysql.user;
Made it clear for me what was happening. I had ended up with the same user under several hosts. Deleting unwanted ones helped!

Issue inserting data into a mysql table using cloudfoundry's vmc utility

I am having issues with user privileges in mysql and cloudfoundry.
I was able to insert data into a table and I am trying to insert data into another table and running into the following issue:
mysql> source /home/julien/Documents/donnees/projets/Site-Rencontres/java/src/main/resources/misc/sql/geolocation.sql
ERROR 1142 (42000): INSERT command denied to user 'uEs8kO1Aqdhlr'#'172.30.49.208' for table 'geolocation'
Can anyone please clarify to me how user privileges work on mysql for cloudfoundry?
EDIT 1: Some info:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for uEs8kO1Aqdhlr#% |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'uEs8kO1Aqdhlr'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*A826C24476F83F907DC66060E4C2705D92E151ED' WITH MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 20 |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `de2474fdd53114ebfbb17b3c236676a28`.* TO 'uEs8kO1Aqdhlr'#'%' |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
EDIT 2: Some more info:
mysql> select user();
+-----------------------------+
| user() |
+-----------------------------+
| uEs8kO1Aqdhlr#172.30.49.208 |
+-----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.80 sec)
mysql> select current_user();
+-----------------+
| current_user() |
+-----------------+
| uEs8kO1Aqdhlr#% |
+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.85 sec)
EDIT 3: Yet some more info:
I realized that my sql script was referring the wrong schema (here called dummy):
insert into dummy.geolocation
Removing the "dummy." allowed me to run the script without any error. Why this gave me the above error I am not sure. If any one can explain, that would be useful...
CF provisions both the mysql instance as well as a database. Therefore when you bind a mysql service you actually bind the database to your app. If you notice when vmc tunnelling to the mysql service, it gives you the username/password as well as a key called "name", that is the schema name the tunnel is on. Operations against other schemas would be considered out of the CF account used.

I can't seem to login to my tutorial database development environment:

Anybody have a clue what to try? Thanks! Also, side note- is it weird I have multiple root users?:
mysql> select User from mysql.user;
+------+
| User |
+------+
| root |
| root |
| |
| root |
| |
| blog |
| root |
+------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Edit: for those asking- I created the database blog with the CREATE DATABASE command in MySql. Here are my active databases:
mysql> SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| blog |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| test |
+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
blog_development doesn't exist
You can see this in sql by the 0 rows affected message
create it in mysql with
mysql> create database blog_development
However as you are using rails you should get used to using
$ rake db:create
to do the same task. It will use your database.yml file settings, which should include something like:
development:
adapter: mysql2
database: blog_development
pool: 5
Also become familiar with:
$ rake db:migrate # Run the database migration
$ rake db:seed # Run thew seeds file create statements
$ rake db:drop # Drop the database
Very simple solution.
Just rename your database and configure your new database name in your project.
The problem is the when you import your database, you got any errors and then the database will be corrupted. The log files will have the corrupted database name.
You can rename your database easily using phpmyadmin for mysql.
phpmyadmin -> operations -> Rename database to
Its a common error which happens when we try to access a database which doesn't exist. So create the database using
CREATE DATABASE blog_development;
The error commonly occours when we have dropped the database using
DROP DATABASE blog_development;
and then try to access the database.

MySQL grant ineffective?

Okay, I'm perplexed. I'm getting an "Access denied" error trying to do an update. There's a grant to allow that user to perform an update on that table, but it's being denied anyway. Yes, I've tried "flush properties".
$ mysql -h DBHOST -u DBUSER -p DBNAME
Enter password: ******

There is a trigger on the table:
CREATE TRIGGER DEFINER=`DEFINER`#`localhost` UserPasswordUpdate BEFORE UPDATE ON User
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE count int;
IF(NOT NEW.Password<=>OLD.Password) THEN
SELECT count(*) into count FROM UserOldPassword WHERE UserID=NEW.UserID AND Password=NEW.Password;
IF(count != 0) THEN
INSERT INTO Unknown VALUES(1);
END IF;
INSERT INTO UserOldPassword(UserID,PasswordDate,Password) VALUES(NEW.UserID, NOW(), NEW.Password);
SET NEW.LastPasswordChangeDate=NOW();
END IF;
END
Both the executing user (see above) and the stated definer should have permissions to insert into the UserOldPassword table:
mysql> show grants for DEFINER;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Try:
GRANT SUPER ON `DBNAME`.`user` TO 'DBUSER'#'%'
You probably have a trigger on the table which is why it's not working.
I upgraded from MySQL 5.0.77 to 5.5.15 and now it works fine.
Run this:
mysql> flush privileges;

I don't believe your syntax is right. You're specifying:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
redditonrails_development.localhost
The expected syntax for db-level GRANT is: ON $db.$table. Based on this, you're only granting on the table named "localhost". Change to:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
redditonrails_development.*
It would seem that your user redditonrails has all privilages on
redditonrails_development.localhost
which would mean redditonrails_development database and localhost table. what you want is to have there
redditonrails_development.*
witch would mean you have all privilages on all tables (even the new ones you're trying to create)
or at least that's how I see it.
