NAME

6       mysql_setpermission - interactively set permissions in grant tables

SYNOPSIS

9       mysql_setpermission [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mysql_setpermission is a Perl script that was originally written and
13       contributed by Luuk de Boer. It interactively sets permissions in the
14       MySQL grant tables.  mysql_setpermission is written in Perl and
15       requires that the DBI and DBD::mysql Perl modules be installed (see
16       Section 2.15, “Perl Installation Notes”).
17
18       Invoke mysql_setpermission like this:
19
20           shell> mysql_setpermission [options]
21
22       options should be either --help to display the help message, or options
23       that indicate how to connect to the MySQL server. The account used when
24       you connect determines which permissions you have when attempting to
25       modify existing permissions in the grant tables.
26
27       mysql_setpermissions also reads options from the [client] and [perl]
28       groups in the .my.cnf file in your home directory, if the file exists.
29
30       mysql_setpermission supports the following options:
31
32       ·   --help
33
34           Display a help message and exit.
35
36       ·   --host=host_name
37
38           Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.
39
40       ·   --password=password
41
42           The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the
43           password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other
44           MySQL programs.
45
46           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
47           insecure. See Section 5.3.2.2, “End-User Guidelines for Password
48           Security”. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
49           on the command line.
50
51       ·   --port=port_num
52
53           The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
54
55       ·   --socket=path
56
57           For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
58
59       ·   --user=user_name
60
61           The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.
