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 4.20, “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 understands 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. You can use an option file to avoid giving the
45          password on the command line.
46
47          Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
48          insecure. See Section 6.6, “Keeping Your Password Secure”.
49
50       ·  --port=port_num
51
52          The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
53
54       ·  --socket=path
55
56          For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
57
58       ·  --user=user_name
59
60          The MySQL username to use when connecting to the server.
