Synopsis
mysql_setpermission options
This utility is an interactive Perl program that allows an
administrator to set user privileges. To run the program, you would
typically give the --user
option with the
administrative username so you can set privileges. A text menu of
options will be displayed for a variety of user administration tasks,
including setting the password and privileges for an existing user and
creating a new user. The program requires that Perl and the Perl DBI
module be installed on the system where it’s executed.
