MySQL: Grant **all** privileges on database

Question

I\'ve created database, for example \'mydb\'.

CREATE DATABASE mydb CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
CREATE USER \'myuser\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD          


        

Answer 1

To grant all priveleges on the database: mydb to the user: myuser, just execute:

GRANT ALL ON mydb.* TO 'myuser'@'localhost';

or:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydb.* TO 'myuser'@'localhost';

The PRIVILEGES keyword is not necessary.

Also I do not know why the other answers suggest that the IDENTIFIED BY 'password' be put on the end of the command. I believe that it is not required.
