Is there any table type that can only be accessed by a particular user?
This table can only be viewed and accessed only by the user who created it
Yes you can.
But you can create a table that has user created column so you can use it on your where condition.
I think the answer is Yes
You can set privileges for that particular table like who can access that table. Like,
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, .
I have tried in via phpmyadmin.
I was wrong. Yes you can set user specific access for particular table. Its syntax is as follow
GRANT SELECT ON db2.invoice TO 'jeffrey'#'localhost';
Temporary tables are available under particular session and not accessible by any other session. It will be dropped on session close.

I have a table, lets call it student, in a schema called enrollment. Table student has a column called address that I don't want a certain user to update (other permissions are fine such as select, insert). All other columns in that table AND in that schema should have the update privilege.
Is this doable?
You can set privileges on database / table / column. But I really would not try to use MySQL's privilege mechanism at that level. I would instead write application code to decide who can see/change what. This is more flexible in the long run. And more graceful to the user -- instead of getting a cryptic MySQL error message about permissions, the UI would simply not show what should not be shown. For updating, the UI would not even give the user the option.
In my case, I wanted a specific application to be able to update only 1 field (my_field) in only 1 table (table_name) while being able to read the entire database.
I created a special user for that purpose:
CREATE USER 'restrictedUser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD_HERE';
SET PASSWORD FOR 'restrictedUser'#'%' = PASSWORD('PASSWORD_HERE');
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
GRANT SELECT ON DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
GRANT UPDATE (my_field) ON DATABASE_NAME.table_name TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
Documentation for Column privilege can be found here for mariaDb and here for mysql
Whenever I create any user then I don't want to show information_schema table to that user.
Is it possible to remove permission of information_schema table for particular user ?
As far as I can tell, no

However, you can manage what a user sees by manipulating their administrative role

Can you restrict a field from being updated without granting any additional user privileges ?
Basically a value in a row can only be set during an insert statement.
Yes. If you grant only insert and select privileges. Like:
grant select, insert, update(message, time) on hibtest.message to 'worm'#'localhost' identified by 'worm'
... this way the user can only update message and time columns.
You can use an update trigger to prevent the value from being updated.
Mysql differentiate between insert privileges and update privileges, which would give a user the option to insert, but not update later on.
see this link: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/privileges-provided.html
Not an exact fit for your question: If you run mysqlisampack on the table, the table will become read-only.
This is good if you have a datawharehouse that is reference only, but not good if you just want to make a "live" column read-only.
Is there any permission or grant command on a table which make users not able to delete records (row) that inserted by another user. But allow them to delete or update their own record?
Thanks,

No, this should be addressed by the application that runs on top of MySQL.
Not entirely sure the following's workable for your case, but I thought I might as well suggest it -- perhaps it can help. You could create for each user an updatable view (with sql security definer) that selects only those user's records, and grant the user the ability to delete on the view but not the table it selects from -- with sql security definer, the user should then be able to delete from the view causing deletion from the table. You'll also have to update the view each time the user creates a new record (otherwise the view is "frozen" at the time it was created). See the docs for create view and updatable views.
u should implement acl with a programming language. some libraries like zend do the job for u (using php language).
Is there a way to configure a mysql table so that writing and reading is possible but not deleting?
For example, a table that contains many logs that are legally important and that must never be deleted.
You would just grant the INSERT and SELECT privileges on the table in question (this prevents the possibility of a row being changed)
GRANT INSERT,SELECT ON mydb.mytable
TO secureduser#localhost
IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
From this you would go on to add wider permissions to the other tables in the database for this user.
Also, check out the Archive Storage Engine, which is custom designed for this kind of audit-trail application.
Revoke the delete privilege from all users for that table.
Another option is to use the Archive storage engine. It only allows insertion, no updates or deletes (from anyone - even a privileged account)
You could do as he says below or...
What you could do, is give users 'roles' in number form, then pass this number to a script which would remove the row... but if the passed number is below a certain 'minimum role expectation' then they are denied access to the script?
