I have given a user full control over one table in a database. Hoever it appears they cant delete records.
I've tried as a privilaged user:
GRANT DELETE ON databasename.tablename TO username@'%';
flush privileges;
But delete stil doesn't work
ERROR 1142 (42000): DELETE command denied to user 'username'@'localhost' for table 'tablename'
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Your GRANT statement might need additional quotes for the username:
'username'@'%'
.You can check the user's privileges in the
mysql
database. Check the tablesuser
,db
,hosts
,tables_priv
.You might have entries with the same username and different hostnames, like 'username'@'localhost' and 'username'@'%'.
The MySQL-Documentation describes in which order MySQL evaluates these tables:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/request-access.html
If you have an entry in the table
tables_priv
allowing the user toDELETE
, that should normally be sufficient.AFAIK you do not need to run
FLUSH PRIVILEGES
after aGRANT
- you only need toFLUSH
if you modify the privilege tables manually with INSERT,DELETE etc.
