mysql.db Table
The mysql.db table contains information about database-level privileges. The table can be queried and although it is possible to directly update it, it is best to use GRANT for setting privileges.
Note that the MariaDB privileges occur at many levels. A user may not be granted a privilege at the database level, but may still have permission on a table level, for example. See privileges for a more complete view of the MariaDB privilege system.
This table uses the Aria storage engine.
The mysql.db table contains the following fields:
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Description | Introduced |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Host | char(60) | NO | PRI | Host (together with User and Db makes up the unique identifier for this record. Until MariaDB 5.5, if the host field was blank, the corresponding record in the mysql.host table would be examined. From MariaDB 10.0, a blank host field is the same as the % wildcard. | ||
Db | char(64) | NO | PRI | Database (together with User and Host makes up the unique identifier for this record. | ||
User | char(80) | NO | PRI | User (together with Host and Db makes up the unique identifier for this record. | ||
