mysqlaccess(1) -- Linux man page
NAME
mysqlaccess - client for checking access privileges
SYNOPSIS
-
mysqlaccess [host_name [user_name [db_name]]] [options]
DESCRIPTION
mysqlaccess
is a diagnostic tool that Yves Carlier has provided for the MySQL distribution. It checks the access privileges for a hostname, username, and database combination. Note that
mysqlaccess
checks access using only the
user,
db, and
host
tables. It does not check table, column, or routine privileges specified in the
tables_priv,
columns_priv, or
procs_priv
tables.
Invoke
mysqlaccess
like this:
shell> mysqlaccess [host_name [user_name [db_name]]] [options]
mysqlaccess
understands the following options:
- *
-
--help,
-?
Display a help message and exit.
- *
-
--brief,
-b
Generate reports in single-line tabular format.
- *
-
--commit
Copy the new access privileges from the temporary tables to the original grant tables. The grant tables must be flushed for the new privileges to take effect. (For example, execute a
mysqladmin reload
command.)
- *
-
--copy
Reload the temporary grant tables from original ones.
- *
-
--db=db_name,
-d db_name
Specify the database name.
- *
-
--debug=N
Specify the debug level.
N

--host=host_name,
-h host_name
The hostname to use in the access privileges.
- *
-
--howto
Display some examples that show how to use
mysqlaccess.
- *

--old_server
Assume that the server is an old MySQL server (before MySQL 3.21) that does not yet know how to handle full
WHERE
clauses.
- *
-
--password[=password],
-p[password]
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you omit the
password
value following the
--password
or
-p
option on the command line, you are prompted for one.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
Section 7.6, lqKeeping Your Password Securerq.

-
--plan
Display suggestions and ideas for future releases.
- *
-
--preview
Show the privilege differences after making changes to the temporary grant tables.

The password to use when connecting to the server as the superuser. If you omit the
password
value following the
--password
or
-p
option on the command line, you are prompted for one.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
Section 7.6, lqKeeping Your Password Securerq.

-U user_name
Specify the username for connecting as the superuser.
- *

If your MySQL distribution is installed in some non-standard location, you must change the location where
mysqlaccess
expects to find the
mysql
client. Edit the
mysqlaccess
script at approximately line 18. Search for a line that looks like this:
$MYSQL = '/usr/local/bin/mysql'; # path to mysql executable
Change the path to reflect the location where
mysql
actually is stored on your system. If you do not do this, a
Broken pipe
error will occur when you run
mysqlaccess.
