Re: Grant statement

[Joao Prado Maia]

Hi Andrew,

This is a side-effect of the anonymous user account that is usually created when you first install MySQL. Here are a few documentation pages that mention this special account, and how it works:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Adding_users.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Default_privileges.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Connection_access.html

Search for "anonymous" and read up! :)

Hope that helps,
