mySQL permissions ... a few newbie questions
Please support our MySQL advertiser: PostgreSQL or MySQL? Compare and contrast the two most popular open source databases
 |
I haven't used the mySQL permissions mechanism to any great degree & could use a little help while still at the design stage.
Is it possible to grant certain users access only to certain RECORDS within a table (based on the value of a field in those records).
If not, I guess I have to use separate tables or views for each user.
Some initial guidance or links to reference material would be greatly appreciated. TIA
Edit: I am reading the manuals BTW - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/#manual

Many thanks for that mwasif - I dropped off reading the mySQL documentation last night but had pretty much formed that opinion. Good to have it confirmed before setting myself unattainable goals.
