~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/mysql-5.1/precise

is a diagnostic tool that Yves Carlier has provided for the MySQL distribution\&. It checks the access privileges for a host name, user name, and database combination\&. Note that

\fBmysqlaccess\fR

checks access using only the

user,

db, and

host

tables\&. It does not check table, column, or routine privileges specified in the

tables_priv,

columns_priv, or

procs_priv

tables\&.
