To create a user and grant all privileges on a database.

Log in to MySQL:

mysql -u root

Now create and grant

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbTest.* To 'user'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Anonymous user (for local testing only)

Alternately, if you just want to grant full unrestricted access to a database (e.g. on your local machine for a test instance, you can grant access to the anonymous user, like so:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbTest.* To ''@'hostname'

Be aware

This is fine for junk data in development. Don't do this with anything you care about.

mysql -u root -p -e  grant all privileges on dbTest   to   user     host   identified by   long-password    flush privileges     ignore -p option  if mysql user has no password or just press   Enter   button to by-pass  strings surrounded with curly braces need to replaced with actual values

Try this to create the user   CREATE USER  user   hostname     Try this to give it access to the database dbTest   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbTest   To  user   hostname  IDENTIFIED BY  password     If you are running the code site accessing MySQL on the same machine  hostname would be localhost   Now  the break down   GRANT - This is the command used to create users and grant rights to databases  tables  etc   ALL PRIVILEGES - This tells it the user will have all standard privileges  This does not include the privilege to use the GRANT command however   dbtest   - This instructions MySQL to apply these rights for use in the entire dbtest database  You can replace the   with specific table names or store routines if you wish   TO  user   hostname  -  user  is the username of the user account you are creating  Note  You must have the single quotes in there   hostname  tells MySQL what hosts the user can connect from  If you only want it from the same machine  use localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  password  - As you would have guessed  this sets the password for that user

In case the host part is omitted it defaults to the wildcard symbol    allowing all hosts   CREATE USER  service-api    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON the db   TO  service-api  IDENTIFIED BY  the password   SELECT   FROM mysql user  SHOW GRANTS FOR  service-api

The below command will work if you want create a new user give him all the access to a specific database not all databases in your Mysql  on your localhost   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON test database   TO  user   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  password     This will grant all privileges to one database test database  in your case dbTest  to that user on localhost   Check what permissions that above command issued to that user by running the below command   SHOW GRANTS FOR  user   localhost    Just in case  if you want to limit the user access to only one single table  GRANT ALL ON mydb table name TO  someuser   host
