Question

In MySQL, does executing FLUSH TABLES, PRIVILEGES; have the same effect as executing FLUSH TABLES; and then executing FLUSH PRIVILEGES;? Also, would this hold true of any flush options (FLUSH LOGS; etc.)?

Answer 1

Taken from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/flush.html

Syntax is

FLUSH [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] flush_option [, flush_option] ...

Which means upon executing the command FLUSH TABLES, PRIVILEGES; it will flush all tables followed by privileges.

Yes should be same as

FLUSH Tables; 
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
