User Accounts With Passwords
I am able to connect to the database using users that are not password protected. After updating privileges to use passwords and changing login info(in a php document) I recieve the following error from the php document:
Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in c:inetpubwwwrootgindex.php on line 9
Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in c:inetpubwwwrootgindex.php on line 9
I am attempting to connect as 'test'@'localhost' with the password 'test'. If I remove the password, I can connect no problem.

User Accounts Not Recognized
I am the administrator and asks for my password (that's ok because I am the administrator). The downside is, no where did it ask me for a user name. I've tried using "root", because, well it is the root file and I am the administrator. Just to test this out, I set up another account and password. MySQL acknowledged it and going through and being set up correctly, but I can't log on as that person or access it through PHP. I was reading in the reference manual that GRANT files should be automatically set up. When I go into my MySQL file,I don't see anything there regarding grants or privileges or users. When I start writing PHP to create and access databases, how will it recognize me if I never set up a user name? Perhaps this should be in the PHP forum?

USer Accounts Creation With MySQL
I am trying to create a website that uses ASP.NET interfacing wth a MySQL database, this is more of a Design based question (I think!). I need users to automatically register an ccount online and create entries within the tables in a specific database. How do I manage this, do i have to create a new user each time by the query GRANT? If so I am planning to have many users logging in to a big table that has a lot of other data for other users (they will be identofoable by an ID column i.e Joe_Bloggs). what do I set as permissions to that particular table, as potentially they could change someone elses information. I may just need a pointer to how you actually go about designing a system as I have described and manage all the users information to allow a good level of security and scalability for expanding the application at a later date. Is it better just to create a new table within the databse each time a new user is created as that way I would be able to grant that particular table (i.e. Joe_Bloggs_Table) the correct permmisions.

Backup/restore User Accounts
I have mysql 5.0.14? installed. I need to make a fresh installation of 5.0.18 (no update). I can create a backup of my database (export) and import it into the new version. But how can I migrate my useraccounts? The probem is, I tried re-creating a user with same pwd in the new version, assigned privileges to that user and the user to my freshly imported database, but when trying to access the DB using a script, it tells me that "user" has no access.

Adding New User Accounts :: Access Denied
I have read Ref Manual 5.9.2 Adding New User Accounts and 5.8.8 Causes of Access Denied. I am running SUSE 10.1: /usr/sbin/mysqld Ver 5.0.18 for suse-linux on i686 (SUSE MySQL RPM) This works: mysql -u root -ppassword mysql Using user root, from Python I can access sql, add data to tables, etc. but I want to set up other users and access mysql from other than localhost. I tried this (as suggested in 5.9.2): mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'pwh'@'localhost' -> IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'pwh'@'%' -> IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; But this happens: mysql -u pwh -ppassword ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'pwh'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Ref man 5.8.8 says if all else fails, reinstall from the source. I started to do that but got stuck. I would rather not if it can be avoided.

Number Of User Accounts For Large Database
I have a large database (816 tables with 11 fields each, each field could hold up to 50 entires) and I'd like to know if each table should have its own user account (created in Cpanel and used in the config file to access the database). May sound like a simple question to some but I need to know in case we have a lot of traffic and 1 user account is not "enough" for all visitors to access the database info.

MySql - Accounts
What privileges does a user need to be able to create new accounts? I have an account with all privileges including the grant privilege, but when I try to create a new user with this account, I always get an access denied error. I'm using an old mySql Version (3.22.32) and a windows-client with an ODBC connection. There is no problem to connect, select or update any data in my database, only with my superuser, only the creation of new user fail.

Setting Up Initial Accounts In MySQL
I'm a newbie to MySQL. In setting up my initial accounts, I see two anonymous users in the mysql database in the user table. My book says to delete them which I did, but I still see what looks like two root accounts. Is this normal? If not, which one do I delete? I see one doesn't yet have a password; should I delete the one without a password? First I'll log out and log back in as root to see if that other root user is a phantom or is really an account. Next, I'll need to add a few users, but I need to make sure this root thing is correct. Here's a screen shot of wht I did: mysql> use mysql Database changed mysql> select user.user from user; +------+ | user | +------+ | | | root | | | | root | +------+ 4 rows in set (0.02 sec) mysql> delete from user where user=''; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> select user.user from user; +------+ | user | +------+ | root | | root | +------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Moving Data And Accounts When Upgrading
Before upgrading my directory structure looks like: /usr/local/myslq-4.0.21 /usr/local/myslq@ -> mysql-4.0.21 After I install an upgrade it looks like: /usr/local/mysql-4.0.21 /usr/local/mysql-4.1.12 /usr/local/mysql@ -> mysql-4.1.12 The upgrade instructions then say to run "mysql_fix_privilege_tables" but the privilege tables should not need fixing since the only thing in the mysql-4.1.12/data directory are the new "mysql" and "test" databases and they should not need fixing. Also none of my old user accounts and data are there. Am I supposed to do something to copy the old data directory to the new data directory and then fix the privilege tables? Something like "(cd mysql-4.0.21; tar cf -) | (cd mysql-4.1.12; tar xf -)"? Or should my data directory be independent of the mysql directory and used from each installation?

Most Efficient Way Of Storing Data From Multiple Accounts
As part of a system I am putting together I need to allow users to create thier own accounts on my servers. Each user can create their own account, and then have their users register for it. Each account needs it data seperate from the others, a member registered for one account should not be able to view another account and a username registered with one account should still be available to the other accounts. The ways I have been looking at are: 1. Create a new database for every account created so that all users are kept in seperate databases. 2. Have one table for users, one for topics, one for posts etc and then associate each row within this table with the relevent account. So for example a user could register with the forum with the ID 4, so their user entry would be Userid: 234 Username: xxxx Password: xxxx Forumid: 4 Then when a new member registers with any account I simply check that there is not another user with the same account ID and username. Indexes on relevent fields in this system could help speed up huge tables. I expect to quickly have 20,000 plus accounts (and in theory it could go up to hundreds of thousands). I guess my question is which of these methods is better from a speed point of view once we get a large number of accounts and users. Also, are there restrictions on the number of fields in a table that could cause problems? Using MySQL by the way, on an Apache server.

How To Save Accounts Based On Variable Amounts Of Time
I'm currently building a website where users can signup for various accounts. An account may last 30 days, 12 months or 24 months. If a user's account is about to expire, an email notification is send, via a CRON Job. I want to save the different account types in the database, but I'm not sure how to save the duration of an account. If it was all months, I could simply save ཈' or པ' as an INT, but it also has an account for 30 days, which is more flexible. Edit: It would also be nice if I could ORDER BY duration..

Where Passwords Are Kept
I am just starting out using mySQL. I created some databases and tables and installed mySQLcc to ease my usage. After about 4 months, I've needed to make some changes that needed root access. I appearantly wrote down the wrong password so I couldn't make any changes. In the process of trying to change the password I think I changed it again and unsynced mySQL and mySQLcc because now I can't access any of the databases with any user. Although I can still open mySQLcc, it can't connect to the database. I get access denied no matter what I do. Is there a way to clear the passwords and start over? Where are the passwords kept? Or do I have to remove mySQL and reinstall it and start over?

Inserting Passwords Into DB
I have a couple of questions concerning the insertion of encrypted passwords into a mysql database (4.0) first, some admins seem to think it's a good idea to feed the password in plaintxt to the db and have the db encrypt and store it. I tend to think this is less secure seeing as there is no seperation between the data and the encrypt/decrypt so therefore encrypt the password beforehand and I want to insert nand retreive it that way. What type should I be using with the store, and what's the best way to store and retrieve it with that type?

Understanding Passwords
1. I know in mySql you need a username and a password to access a database. However, can you set a username and password (or even just a password) to access a table or a row? 2. Is there a way you can set a database so you can only add data? 3. is there a way I can have people access values to a database (php) without using a password? 4. is there a way to set up diffrent users (with diffrent permissions) for accessing mySQL data? 5. Any comments about how I can get alot of people accessing a database, from diffrent websites, with keeping i as secure as possible?

Transferring Passwords
I tried doing a search but did not find the answer I was looking for. I just redesigned the database that I had created a few months ago. I broke my one single table up into multiple tables. My problem is that in my old large table I had a password column that is populated by using Password(). Is there a way for me to transfer the info from that column to my new broken down table set? I did not create a new database when I broke up the large table, I just built my new tables around it so they are all stored in the same database. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. Is it possible for me to just copy and paste the info from one of the fields into the new table? Or will that break the encryption?

Why Dont Shared Hosting Accounts Provide Stored Procedures And Triggers?
i am searching for 3 days now for a reliable, fast hosting company, which supports stored procedures and triggers on mysql5. most of them dont support this, because mysql5 has a design-flaw in which it stores procedures and triggers on a root level-area (tables mysql information_schema). due this logic, most of the hosting companies wont allow you to create/run procedures and triggers. funny, that hosting companies forbid you to use new technologies and methods to build faster.

Encoding Passwords In MySQL
I am developing a database application in which I store usernames and passwords. Naturally I want to store the passwords in an encrypted form. However, just like you see in many web applications, I want to be able to email the users password back to them should they forget their old password. I looked at how to store the password data in MySQL and they recommend using MD5 or SHA. Both of these appear to be one way encryption routines. IOW once I encrypt and store the users password there is no way to unencrypt it. How can I store passwords in my SQL database such that I can convert them back to plain text when the user requests them?
