From: LDJ Date: March 27 1999 5:12pm Subject: Adding Users & Granting Priviledges List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/1067 Message-Id: <199903271312090610.002E0669@boxer> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I need to create a general user that is able to access various databases that I create. They will get accessed from the machine and via the web through various CGI scripts (PHP, PERL, C, etc.) I also want to use this account to play around (create, edit, delete, access different databases) and try to learn mysql. I do not know how to set this up. With a password? What permissions should be granted? I want to keep it secure but also be able to connect to databases with ease. Any guidance is appreciated!
