What is the MySQL user creation script?

First, create a user and password using CREATE command. The syntax is as follows.

CREATE USER 'yourUserName'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourPassword';

The syntax to give all privileges of the specific database to the user is as follows.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON yourDatabaseName . * TO 'yourUserName'@'localhost';

Now you can implement the above syntaxes to create a user and grant all privileges.

Step 1 − Create a user

The query is as follows.

mysql> create user 'Adam Smith'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Adam123456'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.29 sec)

Step 2 − Grant all privileges to the user.

The query is as follows.

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON test . * TO 'Adam Smith'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)

To cross check the user is created or not, you can use the MySQL.user table. The query is as follows.

mysql> select user,host from MySQL.user;

The following is the output.

+------------------+-----------+ | user             | host      | +------------------+-----------+ | Manish           | %         | | User2            | %         | | mysql.infoschema | %         | | mysql.session    | %         | | mysql.sys        | %         | | root             | %         | | Adam Smith       | localhost | | User1            | localhost | | am               | localhost | +------------------+-----------+ 9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Look at the above sample output, the user Adam Smith is present in the MySQL.user table.
