If someone has root access on your system and needs more than one account, it’s better to create another superuser account that has similar priviledges as the admin account (i.e.: remove mysql, flush, shutdown privs). You could even go further and allow only this superuser account to execute connect/admin commands like FLUSH PRIVILEGES.
If you have only one superuser account like the mysql Admin, it’s clear that there must be a way how to delete all users accounts with all privileges. It seems that MariaDB provides such a functionality, but it is not exposed in the user interface and thus we need some SQL code.
If you want to delete a database from a MariaDB Server, then you need to have the following privileges. If you only have “Select” permission, then you won’t be able to delete the databases.
How to Rename A Database MariaDB?
The syntax of this query will be: mysqladmin [options] rename old_database new_database . So here are some examples for renaming databases in MySQL Server. If you want to rename a database named “testdb” to “test”, then run the following command:
For creating a new database in MySQL, mysql_install_db script is used. This script will be invoked by your system startup scripts (such as /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql) when starting or restarting the daemon (mysqld). So for making.
The DROP USER statement can be used to drop multiple users by comma separating the user accounts. For example: DROP USER ‘smithj’@’localhost’, ‘andersonk’@’localhost’; Using this syntax, two users would be removed from MySQL – smithj and andersonk.
Log into mysqlMsql -u root -p.Select User,Host from mysql.user; Should return something like MariaDB [mysql]> select User,Host from user; …Delete anonymous user using a single ‘ before the @ sign
You can use the RENAME USER statement to rename multiple users by separating user names with commas. For example:RENAME USER ‘techonthenet’@’localhost’ TO ‘totn’@’localhost’, ‘checkyourmath.com’@’localhost’ TO ‘cym’@’localhost’;This RENAME USER example would rename two users in MariaDB.
