MySQL Error: #1142 - SELECT command denied to user

Question

I\'m having troubles with a certain query on one of my servers. On all other places I\'ve tested it it works completely fine but on the server i want to use it it isn\'t wor

Answer 1

So the issue I ran into was this... the application I used to grant the permissions converted the Schema.TableName into a single DB statement in the wrong table, so the grant was indeed wrong, but looked correct when we did a SHOW GRANTS FOR UserName if you weren't paying very close attention to GRANT SELECT vs GRANT TABLE SELECT. Manually correcting the Grant Select on Table w/ proper escaping of Schema.Table solved my issue.

May be unrelated, but I can imagine if one client does this wrong, another might too.

Hope that's helpful.

Answer 2

I faced the same situation but its funny that reason for the error was due to the use of the incorrect database or schema name.

Its true that multiple issues can lead to error you have mentioned.

Answer 3

You need to grant SELECT permissions to the MySQL user who is connecting to MySQL

same question as here Error: select command denied to user '<userid>'@'<ip-address>' for table '<table-name>'

see answers of the link ;)

Answer 4

This error happened on my server when I imported a view with an invalid definer.

Removing the faulty view fixed the error.

The error message didn't say anything about the view in question, but was "complaining" about one of the tables, that was used in the view.

Answer 5

You need to give privileges to the particular user by giving the command mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES . To 'username'@'localhost'; and then give FLUSH PRIVILEGES; command. Then it won't give this error.., hope it helps thank you..!
