y<\/strong> to finish the setup. You have successfully changed the root user password.<\/li>Checking Current MySQL Version<\/h3>
Once you’ve MySQL installed on CentOS 9 Sream, you can test if everything was set up correctly by checking its version. Type in the following command:<\/p>
mysql -u root -p\n<\/pre>Enter the root password that you’ve created, and the response will be as below:<\/p>
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.\nYour MySQL connection id is 22\nServer version: 8.0.20\n\nCopyright (c) 2000, 2020, Oracle and\/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.\n\nOracle is a registered trademark of Oracle Corporation and\/or its affiliates. Other names may be trademarks of their respective owners.\n\nType 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the current input statement.\n<\/pre>Resetting the MySQL Root Password<\/h3>
If you want to reset your password, the process is pretty straightforward. Follow the steps below to change your MySQL root password:<\/p>
\n- Stop the MySQL server with this command:\n
sudo systemctl stop mysqld<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Restart MySQL in safe mode<\/strong>, or without a password by typing in:\n
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Press ENTER<\/strong> if the MySQL server has started but seems to be hanging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use the following command to reconnect to MySQL as root:\n
mysql -uroot<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To change the root password, use the following commands:\n
USE MYSQL;\nUPDATE USER SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD(“newpassword”) WHERE USER=’root’;\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\nEXIT<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Replace the newpassword<\/strong> with a strong password of your own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Finally, restart MySQL using:\n
sudo systemctl start mysqld<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can now login to MySQL with your new password.<\/li>\n<\/ol>
Creating a New MySQL User, Database<\/h3>
As the root user in MySQL, you have full access to all of the databases.<\/p>
However, if you work with a team, there are cases where you might need to apply some restrictions. You’d either have to build a new database or create users with custom permissions.<\/p>
Here’s how to quickly solve this issue:<\/p>
\n- Use the following command to create a new database:\n
CREATE DATABASE newdb<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Change newdb<\/strong> with the name of the database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create a new user by typing the following line:\n
CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Change the variables for both username<\/strong> and password<\/strong> to create your new user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want to delete a certain user instead, use the command:\n
DROP USER ‘username’@‘localhost’<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>Managing MySQL User Permissions<\/h3>
Grant the new user access to a database with by typing in:<\/p>
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON newdb.* TO 'username'@'localhost'\n<\/pre>You can also grant privileges individually, including:<\/p>
\n- SELECT<\/strong> – users can read through the database using the select command<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- CREATE<\/strong> – they can generate new tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- DROP<\/strong> – allows users to remove tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- DELETE<\/strong> – users can take out rows from tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- INSERT<\/strong> – lets users add in rows into tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- UPDATE<\/strong> – enable them to update the rows<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- GRANT OPTION<\/strong> – they can grant or remove the privileges of other users<\/li>\n<\/ul>
For example, to grant the CREATE<\/strong> privilege, you’d need to type:<\/p>GRANT CREATE ON newdb.* TO 'username'@'localhost'\n<\/pre>On the other hand, if you want to remove someone’s access, use the following:<\/p>
REVOKE permission_type ON newdb.* TO 'username'@'localhost'\n<\/pre>You can also check what current privileges a user has:<\/p>
SHOW GRANTS username\n<\/pre>Finally, once you’ve finished managing your users, it’s a good idea to reset all the privileges by using this command for your changes to take effect:<\/p>
FLUSH PRIVILEGES\n<\/pre>Other Useful MySQL Commands<\/h2>
MySQL also has a list of other helpful commands. Simply enter h<\/strong> or help<\/strong> to view the list shown below:<\/p>List of all MySQL commands:\nNote that all text commands must be first on line and end with ';'\n? (?)
