mariadb-setpermission1
Interactively set permissions in grant tables (mariadb-setpermission is now a symlink to mariadb-setpermission)
Usage
mariadb-setpermission [options]
Overview
mariadb-setpermission is a Perl script that was originally written and contributed by Luuk de Boer. It interactively sets permissions in the MariaDB grant tables. mariadb-setpermission is written in Perl and requires that the DBI and DBD::MariaDB Perl modules be installed.
Invoke mariadb-setpermission like this:
shell> mariadb-setpermission [options]
options should be either --help to display the help message, or options that indicate how to connect to the MariaDB server. The account used when you connect determines which permissions you have when attempting to modify existing permissions in the grant tables.
mariadb-setpermission also reads options from the [client] and [perl] groups in the .my.cnf file in your home directory, if the file exists.
mariadb-setpermission supports the following options:
• --help
Display a help message and exit.
• --host=host_name
Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.
• --password=password
The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other MariaDB programs.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line.
• --port=port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
• --socket=path
For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
• --user=user_name
The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
