<pre>
95 3 Amber Herold
      >mysql mysql
96
97 1 Amber Herold
      mysql> select user, password, host from user;
98 3 Amber Herold
      +------+----------+-----------+
99
      | user | password | host      |
100 1 Amber Herold
      +------+----------+-----------+
101
      | root |          | localhost |
102
      | root |          | host1     |
103
      |      |          | host1     |
104
      |      |          | localhost |

108 1 Amber Herold
109 3 Amber Herold
h3. 10. Create user
110 1 Amber Herold
111 3 Amber Herold
Create and grant privileges to a user called usr_object for the databases on both the localhost and other hosts involved. For example, use wild card '%' for all hosts. You may also set specific privilege to the user. See MySQL Reference Manual for details
112 8 Amber Herold
113
      mysql> create user usr_object@'localhost';
114 11 Amber Herold
      mysql> grant all privileges on leginondb.* to usr_object@'localhost';
115
      mysql> grant all privileges on projectdb.* to usr_object@'localhost';
116 3 Amber Herold
117 8 Amber Herold
Similarly,
118 3 Amber Herold
119 4 Amber Herold
      mysql> create user usr_object@'%';
120 11 Amber Herold
      mysql> grant all privileges on leginondb.* to usr_object@'%';
121
      mysql> grant all privileges on projectdb.* to usr_object@'%';
122 3 Amber Herold
123
h3. 11. Change Root password
124 1 Amber Herold
125 12 Amber Herold
<pre>
126
      mysql> update user set password=password('your_own_root_password') where user="root";
127 3 Amber Herold
      Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.01 sec)
128
      Rows matched: 2  Changed: 2  Warnings: 0
129 1 Amber Herold
130 12 Amber Herold
      mysql> flush privileges;
131 1 Amber Herold
      mysql>^D or exit;
132 12 Amber Herold
</pre>
133 3 Amber Herold
134
From now on, you will need to specify the password to connect to the database as root user like this:
135
136
      >mysql -u root -p mysql
137
138 1 Amber Herold
h3. 12. Check MySQL variables
139 8 Amber Herold
140 12 Amber Herold
<pre>
141 11 Amber Herold
      >mysql -u usr_object leginondb
142 3 Amber Herold
143
      mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'query%';
