PRIVILEGES

EXAMPLES

GRANT

The following examples demonstrate grant of a single privilege. A single GRANT statement can grant multiple privileges at the same scope by providing a comma-separated list of the privileges.

To grant the SHOW DATABASES privilege at global scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') in the following query to align to your requirements:

GRANT SHOW DATABASES
  ON *.*
  TO 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

For general guidance on privileges, see "Privileges".

REVOKE

The following examples demonstrate revoke of a single previously-granted privilege. A single REVOKE statement can revoke multiple privileges at the same scope by providing a comma-separated list of the privileges.

To revoke the SHOW DATABASES privilege at global scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') in the following query to align to your requirements:

REVOKE SHOW DATABASES
  ON *.*
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

For general guidance on privileges, see "Privileges".

SHOW Output

A user's privileges can be displayed using the SHOW GRANTS statement.

If the SHOW DATABASES privilege is present, it will be shown as SHOW DATABASES in the output. For example:

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%';
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for app_user@192.0.2.%                         |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT SHOW DATABASES ON *.* TO 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%' |
+-------------------------------------------------------+

Privilege Failure

The SHOW DATABASES privilege results in no failures. If a user does not have the privilege, the SHOW DATABASES statement only returns databases that the user has privileges to access.
