MYSQL COMMANDS

For those of you, like myself, who don't use Mysql too often, it is worth having a reference for MySQL commands.

These are just a very simple selection of basic commands that you will need to get a database and users setup quickly.

Show all users:

mysql> select * from mysql.user;

Create Database:

CREATE DATABASE mydb CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;

Create User:

CREATE USER 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'password';

Grant all access to database for user:

GRANT ALL ON mydb.* TO 'myuser'@'%';

GRANT ALL ON mydb TO 'myuser'@'%';

GRANT CREATE ON mydb TO 'myuser'@'%';

Use this at the end of running any commands to save permanently:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
