MySQL security

I need to have two levels of permission for my MySQL database -- one for me with maximum privileges and one for site visitors with reduced privileges. How do I accomplish that, given that I don't have CREATE_USER permission.

Hello WalterOney and welcome,

 

MySQL is only supported and available within the Business Webhosting package and above. Please refer to this link  for this information.

 

Hope this helps you out.

Ahem. I already know that. I've been a professional programmer for longer than you've been on the planet. I have the business package, or else I couldn't have a database to be worrying about.

 

So what's the answer to the question I actually asked.

Ahem, well if you have been a professional website programmer since I have been on the planet (lol extremely doubtful from my mind's eye) then perhap you need to check out this link  so you can get brought up to speed. Man Wink

 

I do not currently use the version of MySQL supported in whatever version of webhosting you have, but you need to check out the above link for direct MySQL support.

This is a Comcast forum, so I naturally expected to find peer and company support tailored to Comcast's web hosting. This isn't a MySQL issue, it's a Comcast issue.

Follow-up: MySQL servers are under worldwide attack right now. When I go live with my app, I don't want to be the conduit through which someone was able to use an injection attack to compromise your servers. Best practices dictate that web users not have full privileges to databases. This principle requires that there be at least two users, doesn't it?
