USAGE
CURRENT_USER()
DETAILS
CURRENT_USER() is an information function that returns the user name and host name (separated by @) that was used by the server to authenticate the current client connection.
The return value is a string in the utf8 character set.
The user returned can differ from that of USER() since the authenticating user may not exactly match the name in the authentication request.
