Over the next few pages, I'm going to examine the mySQL access control system, and throw some light on the mySQL "grant tables". These tables, which are an integral part of the server's security system, offer database administrators a great deal of power and flexibility in deciding the rules which govern access to the system.
I'll be assuming that you know the basics of SQL, and have a mySQL database server up and running. If you're not familiar with SQL, you can find a tutorial at https://devshed.com/
