Write a C/C++ program to add a user to MySQL. The user should be permitted to only “SELECT” entries from the given database.

Answer 1

Use this connector for mysql.

Then you should be executing these queries :

MYSQL* mysql;

// establish connection.

mysql_query(mysql, "CREATE 'username'@'serveraddress' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'");
mysql_query(mysql, "GRANT SELECT ON database.* TO 'username'@'serveraddress'");

The above is for select to all tables in the database. If you have some table name that you want to grant access to, then mention it instead of ‘*’ ( database.tablename)
