Comments - mysql.global_priv Table

Hello,

it would be very beneficial to describe the whole structure of JSON inside the "Priv" column. I didn't find it anywhere.

Agreed. Pretty annoying. Luckily I stumbled on the code driving the `mysql`.`users` view which seems to clarify most of the json fields:

SELECT
  Host,
  User,
  IF(JSON_VALUE(Priv, '$.plugin') IN ('mysql_native_password', 'mysql_old_password'), IFNULL(JSON_VALUE(Priv, '$.authentication_string'), ''), '') AS Password,
