MongoDB – Enable User Authentication

This has always happened, back to SQL Server 2000.
Without schema, how does SQL Server know you want to put it in the dbo schema?

The only way to specify a default schema is to :

• use SQL logins (not Windows)
• run as "sysadmin"

Neither of these is acceptable

Best practice is to always qualify schema for every object reference for DDL and DML. There are clear performance benefits because of plan re-use.

Also, deliberate schema use is better for SQL Server 2005:

• tables in Data
• other tables in Archive, Staging etc
• code in schemas per client permissions: Desktop, WebGUI etc

Using the dbo schema is so last millenium :-) Links:

When you execute GRANT SELECT ON store.catalog TO 'wordpress'@'%';, mysqld wants to insert a row into the grant table mysql.tables_priv. Here is mysql.tables_priv:

mysql> show create table mysql.tables_priv\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: tables_priv
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tables_priv` (
  `Host` char(60) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `Db` char(64) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `User` char(16) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `Table_name` char(64) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `Grantor` char(77) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `Timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `Table_priv` set('Select','Insert','Update','Delete','Create','Drop','Grant','References','Index','Alter','Create View','Show view','Trigger') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `Column_priv` set('Select','Insert','Update','References') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  PRIMARY KEY (`Host`,`Db`,`User`,`Table_name`),
  KEY `Grantor` (`Grantor`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='Table privileges'
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

Since you want to insert a row into mysql.table_priv where user='wordpress' and host='%', there has to exist a row in mysql.user where user='wordpress' and host='%'.

You also mentioned that you are using MySQL Workbench. You must be using 'root'@'localhost'. That would usually have all rights and a password.

If you want to just allow anonymous SELECT against that table, first run this:

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'wordpress'@'%';

This will place wordpress@'%' into mysql.user. Afterwards, GRANT SELECT ON store.catalog TO 'wordpress'@'%' should run just fine.

You will have to see what other wordpress entries are in mysql.user. This should show what SQL GRANT commands you need:

SELECT CONCAT('GRANT SELECT ON store.catalog TO ',userhost,';') GrantCommand
FROM
(
    SELECT CONCAT('''',user,'''@''',host,'''') userhost
    FROM mysql.user WHERE user='wordpress'
) A;
