MYSQL_SETPERMISSI(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_SETPERMISSI(1)NAMEmysql_setpermission - interactively set permissions in grant tables
SYNOPSISmysql_setpermission [options]
DESCRIPTIONmysql_setpermission is a Perl script that was originally written and
contributed by Luuk de Boer. It interactively sets permissions in the
MySQL grant tables. mysql_setpermission is written in Perl and
requires that the DBI and DBD::mysql Perl modules be installed (see
Section 4.20, “Perl Installation Notes”).
Invoke mysql_setpermission like this:
shell> mysql_setpermission [options]
options should be either --help to display the help message, or options
that indicate how to connect to the MySQL server. The account used when
you connect determines which permissions you have when attempting to
modify existing permissions in the grant tables.
mysql_setpermissions also reads options from the [client] and [perl]
groups in the .my.cnf file in your home directory, if the file exists.
mysql_setpermission understands the following options:
· --help
Display a help message and exit.
· --host=host_name
Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.
· --password=password
The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the
password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other
MySQL programs. You can use an option file to avoid giving the
password on the command line.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
insecure. See Section 6.6, “Keeping Your Password Secure”.
· --port=port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
· --socket=path
For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
· --user=user_name
The MySQL username to use when connecting to the server.
