mariadb drop user "wildcard"

You are viewing an old version of this question. View the current version here.

hello -

suppose i create these two users:

CREATE USER 'ILOVEMARIADB'@'123.123.123.123' ;
CREATE USER 'ILOVEMARIADB'@'234.234.234.234' ;

is there any way to delete BOTH of these in one statement?

i tried these:

DROP USER 'ILOVEMARIADB'   ;
DROP USER  'ILOVEMARIADB'@%'  ;
DROP USER  'ILOVEMARIADB'@_'  ;

no luck.

and doing this seems to case me problems when i try to add the same name using a different IP number.:

DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User = "MarkEdwards" AND Host != 'localhost' ;

Answer

It's not a one-liner, but perhaps something like this?

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT('\'',user, '\'@\'', host, '\'') INTO @accounts FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'ILOVEMARIADB';
SET @accounts = CONCAT('DROP USER ', @accounts);
PREPARE s FROM @accounts;
EXECUTE s;
