I have to create a database in a Windows Server 2008 remote machine, which already had MySql Server 5.5 and MySql Workbench 5.2 installed. Since I wasn't granted the password to the root user, I tried to create a new user.
In MySql Workbench I tried to open the Manage Security option, to no avail, since it asked for the password.
In the command prompt I tried to run mysql but it returned the following error message.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Is there any way to create a new user without having prior access to the root user?
More generally, is there any workaround to create and use a database without access to root?
You don't have to be the root user, but you must have rights to create a user. You can get those rights with the grant create user statement. Apparently, you don't have those privileges, so if you need them, you should ask your administrator.
So the answer is: There is no workaround. You don't have to be root, but you must have certain privileges.
In practice, if you need an extra user, the administrator is more likely to create one for you than to give you the rights to create them yourself. But that's something he and you need to figure out yourselves. :)

I have installed Xampp on windows 10 to create a simple app to understand how to use Laravel. I have the last version of Xampp. I configure PHP correctly (with path and so on), but I have a problem with MySQL.
I put the MySQL bin folder address in the user variables path (section in the system properties). In this way, my prompt command recognizes the mysql command. The problem arrives when I write this command: mysql -v. I tried a lot of things, but this Error remains:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'personalUser'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
PS: personalUser is a generic name to indicate the name of my user.
I have tried to substitute the MariaDB with MySQL in the Xampp folder (I don't know why Xampp has the MariaDB version instead of MySQL). I redownload Xampp twice times. In the xampp folder, in the phpMyAdmin folder, in the file config.inc.php, I changed this command line:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; with $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'NO';
I tried other things.
Based on the error message you are receiving, it seems that the issue is related to the authentication credentials for the MySQL server. The error message indicates that the user 'personalUser' is not allowed to access the MySQL server because they are not using a password.
To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:
Open the MySQL command-line client by running the mysql command in your terminal or command prompt.
When prompted for a password, enter the password for the user 'personalUser'.
If you do not know the password, you may need to reset it by following the steps in this MySQL documentation: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
Once you have successfully authenticated with the MySQL server, you can use the GRANT command to grant the 'personalUser' user access to the database you want to use. For example, to grant access to the 'mydatabase' database, you can use the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydatabase.* TO 'personalUser'#'localhost';
After granting the appropriate privileges to the user, you should be able to access the MySQL server and use it with Laravel.
If you continue to have issues, you may need to check the configuration of the MySQL server to make sure that it is set up to allow access from the user 'personalUser'. You can refer to the MySQL documentation for more information on how to configure user access: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/adding-users.html
I'm making a new project on heroku, using mysql (they have an addon called JawsDB, which gives me a mysql host, username, password). (Update: I've also tried using their other mysql addon, ClearDB, and I have the exact same issue)
I can connect to the database like so (and I can 'show databases' to see what's there):
mysql -h izm96dhhnwr2ieg0.cbetxkdyhwsb.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com -u knu81lzn5m79u3rx -p[given_password]
Problem: When I do create database nptest, I get:
Access denied for user 'knu81lzn5m79u3rx'#%' to database 'nptest'
I've tried granting all privileges, like this:
grant all privileges on *.* to 'knu81lzn5m79u3rx'#'%' identified by '[given_password]';
but that gives me:
Access denied for user 'knu81lzn5m79u3rx'#'%' (using password: YES)
I also tried create user to make a fresh one, but of course then it's "Access denied" because I don't have create user privileges either.
What's the correct way to grant access to this user?
Ah! The answer was that the preliminary plan on jawsDB gives you one specific database (that has a cryptic name) on a shared server with other people, so you don't have permissions to make a new one. It wasn't clear in the instructions, so now I'm humming away with good old database "tbkrv66g085ulngi" :)
To further clarify on Diane's answer, the cryptic database name can be found by logging into JawsDB via a mysql client and runningshow databases or it's the last parameter of the JAWSDB_URL that can be found running heroku config.
i think if you use it in production mode it will solve the probl
A friend of mine asked me to help him with some minor php/mysql job. He gave me his cpanel access and I have to create a database for him.
I get the error:
MySQL issue : Access denied for user 'user'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
When I type in phpMyAdmin:
CREATE DATABASE db_name;
Is there a way I can grant all priviledges to the user he provided, or is there a way I can create a database with other user?
You can grant usage by using
grant usage on *.* to prasad#localhost identified by 'passwd';
Another thing regarding access denied to even localhost is caused when your firewall is active. You can try disabling antivirus software and also firewall.
A suggestion will be if you are using mysql, then mysql workbench is a great to have. You can create databases through GUI quite easily
I've stablished an user that will be used for reporting in my Database. I've granted just SELECT privileges over the necessary database.
I'm able to log into MySQL from phpMyAdmin for example and I do with the user what is supposed to do.
However, the following error arises once you try to read from an ODBC:
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user user#server_ip (using password: YES)
Do I need to do something extra? The access with root doesn't have this problems but, obviously, I don't want to grant all permissions to that user for security reasons.
You must first make sure that the user has your desired access when it connects locally. You can test this using the MySQL Query Browser or MySQL Command Line client.
Now, if there is no issue when tested locally, and if the root user is able to access the tables from the remote machine, then something must be wrong with the user's permissions which prevents it from accessing the tables from the remote host. Check if you have correctly granted the needed permissions to the user. Here is the correct syntax:
mysql> CREATE USER 'custom'#'host47.example.com' IDENTIFIED BY 'obscure';
mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP
-> ON expenses.*
-> TO 'custom'#'host47.example.com';

I created a database named auth yesterday in mysql.
Today, I went to access it by USE auth; but I got this output
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''#'localhost' to database 'auth'
I never used to have this problem when I created and used databases.
Connect to database with root
mysql -u root -pyourpassword
(change yourpassword with password you have for root or leave in blank in case you havent set it). Now you should have access to your db. Check this thread how to set permissions for users MySQL Add User Guide.
maybe try creating and using a new database to see if the problem is repeatable, or if it's specific to that database.
