Question

I have a demo mysql database the I would like all users to be able to see.

How do I grant SELECT on this one database to all the mysql users?

I tried:

GRANT SELECT ON demodb.* TO ”@localhost;

This seemed to run, but no change on the visability of the demodb database.

Any help?

Answer 1

Try this query –

INSERT INTO mysql.db(host, User, Db, select_priv)
  SELECT host, user, 'demodb', 'Y' FROM  mysql.user;

Then run ‘FLUSH PRIVILEGES;’ to apply privileges.
