Some MySQL handy oneliners:
- List all users from running instance:
SELECT User, Host, Password FROM mysql.user;
- Create new user called
newuser
CREATE USER newuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'superstrongpassword';
- Create new UTF-8 database called
mydatabase(at time of writing, 20190214, these settings seem to be the best practice for UTF-8 settings, YMMV, update if needed)
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
- Change the encoding of
mydatabase(because some software may not support latest best practices, etc)
ALTER DATABASE mydatabase CHARACTER SET = utf8 COLLATE = utf8_general_ci;
- Give full control of
mydatabaseto existingnewuser
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydatabase.* TO newuser@localhost; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
