The file name extension can be omitted (which makes the statement look\nthe same on all architectures).\n\nThe shared library must be located in the plugin directory (that is, the\ndirectory named by the plugin_dir system variable). The library must be in the\nplugin directory itself, not in a subdirectory. By default, plugin_dir is\nplugin directory under the directory named by the pkglibdir configuration\nvariable, but it can be changed by setting the value of plugin_dir at server\nstartup. For example, set its value in a my.cnf file:\n\n[mysqld]\nplugin_dir=/path/to/plugin/directory\nIf the value of plugin_dir is a relative path name, it is taken to be relative\nto the MySQL base directory (the value of the basedir system variable).\n\nINSTALL PLUGIN adds a line to the mysql.plugin table that describes the\nplugin.

It is also possible to\nuninstall a plugin, edit my.cnf, and install the plugin again. Restarting the\nplugin this way enables it to the new option values without a server restart.\n\nINSTALL PLUGIN also loads and initializes the plugin code to make the plugin\navailable for use.

These can be\nanything from new storage engines, plugins for enhancing full-text parsing, or\neven small enhancements, such as a plugin to get a timestamp as an integer.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information\n---------------------------\n\nThere are a number of ways to see which plugins are currently active.\n\nA server almost always has a large number of active plugins, because the\nserver contains a large number of built-in plugins, which are active by\ndefault and cannot be uninstalled.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information with SHOW PLUGINS\n---------------------------------------------\n\nThe SHOW PLUGINS statement can be used to query information about all active\nplugins.\n\nFor example:\n\nSHOW PLUGINS\\G;\n********************** 1. row **********************\n Name: binlog\n Status: ACTIVE\n Type: STORAGE ENGINE\nLibrary: NULL\nLicense: GPL\n********************** 2. row **********************\n Name: mysql_native_password\n Status: ACTIVE\n Type: AUTHENTICATION\nLibrary: NULL\nLicense: GPL\n********************** 3. row **********************\n Name: mysql_old_password\n Status: ACTIVE\n Type: AUTHENTICATION\nLibrary: NULL\nLicense: GPL\n...\n\nIf a plugin\'s Library column has a NULL value, then the plugin is built-in,\nand it cannot be uninstalled.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information with information_schema.PLUGINS\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe information_schema.PLUGINS table can be queried to get more detailed\ninformation about plugins.\n\nFor example:\n\nSELECT * FROM information_schema.PLUGINS\\G\n...\n*************************** 6. row ***************************\n PLUGIN_NAME: CSV\n PLUGIN_VERSION: 1.0\n PLUGIN_STATUS: ACTIVE\n PLUGIN_TYPE: STORAGE ENGINE\n PLUGIN_TYPE_VERSION: 100003.0\n PLUGIN_LIBRARY: NULL\nPLUGIN_LIBRARY_VERSION: NULL\n PLUGIN_AUTHOR: Brian Aker, MySQL AB\n PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION: CSV storage engine\n PLUGIN_LICENSE: GPL\n LOAD_OPTION: FORCE\n PLUGIN_MATURITY: Stable\n PLUGIN_AUTH_VERSION: 1.0\n*************************** 7. row ***************************\n PLUGIN_NAME: MEMORY\n PLUGIN_VERSION: 1.0\n PLUGIN_STATUS: ACTIVE\n PLUGIN_TYPE: STORAGE ENGINE\n PLUGIN_TYPE_VERSION: 100003.0\n PLUGIN_LIBRARY: NULL\nPLUGIN_LIBRARY_VERSION: NULL\n PLUGIN_AUTHOR: MySQL AB\n PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION: Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary\ntables\n PLUGIN_LICENSE: GPL\n LOAD_OPTION: FORCE\n PLUGIN_MATURITY: Stable\n PLUGIN_AUTH_VERSION: 1.0\n...\n\nIf a plugin\'s PLUGIN_LIBRARY column has the NULL value, then the plugin is\nbuilt-in, and it cannot be uninstalled.\n\nQuerying Plugin Information with mysql.plugin\n---------------------------------------------\n\nThe mysql.plugin table can be queried to get information about installed\nplugins.\n\nThis table only contains information about plugins that have been installed\nvia the following methods:\n\n* The INSTALL SONAME statement.\n* The INSTALL PLUGIN statement.\n* The mysql_plugin utility.\n\nThis table does not contain information about:\n\n* Built-in plugins.\n* Plugins loaded with the --plugin-load-add option.\n* Plugins loaded with the --plugin-load option.\n\nThis table only contains enough information to reload the plugin when the\nserver is restarted, which means it only contains the plugin name and the\nplugin library.\n\nFor example:\n\nSELECT * FROM mysql.plugin;\n\n+------+------------+\n| name | dl |\n+------+------------+\n| PBXT | libpbxt.so |\n+------+------------+\n\nInstalling a Plugin\n-------------------\n\nThere are three primary ways to install a plugin:\n\n* A plugin can be installed dynamically with an SQL statement.\n* A plugin can be installed with a mysqld option, but it requires a server\nrestart.\n* A plugin can be installed with the mysql_plugin utility, while the server is\ncompletely offline.\n\nWhen you are installing a plugin, you also have to ensure that:\n\n* The server\'s plugin directory is properly configured, and the plugin\'s\nlibrary is in the plugin directory.\n* The server\'s minimum plugin maturity is properly configured, and the plugin\nis mature enough to be installed.\n\nInstalling a Plugin Dynamically\n-------------------------------\n\nA plugin can be installed dynamically by executing either the INSTALL SONAME\nor the INSTALL PLUGIN statement.\n\nIf a plugin is installed with one of these statements, then a record will be\nadded to the mysql.plugins table for the plugin. This means that the plugin\nwill automatically be loaded every time the server restarts, unless\nspecifically uninstalled or deactivated.\n\nInstalling a Plugin with INSTALL SONAME\n---------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin dynamically by executing the INSTALL SONAME\nstatement. INSTALL SONAME installs all plugins from the given plugin library.\nThis could be required for some plugin libraries.\n\nFor example, to install all plugins in the server_audit plugin library (which\nis currently only the server_audit audit plugin), you could execute the\nfollowing:\n\nINSTALL SONAME \'server_audit\';\n\nInstalling a Plugin with INSTALL PLUGIN\n---------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin dynamically by executing the INSTALL PLUGIN\nstatement. INSTALL PLUGIN installs a single plugin from the given plugin\nlibrary.\n\nFor example, to install the server_audit audit plugin from the server_audit\nplugin library, you could execute the following:\n\nINSTALL PLUGIN server_audit SONAME \'server_audit\';\n\nInstalling a Plugin with Plugin Load Options\n--------------------------------------------\n\nA plugin can be installed with a mysqld option by providing either the\n--plugin-load-add or the --plugin-load option.\n\nIf a plugin is installed with one of these options, then a record will not be\nadded to the mysql.plugins table for the plugin. This means that if the server\nis restarted without the same option set, then the plugin will not\nautomatically be loaded.\n\nInstalling a Plugin with --plugin-load-add\n------------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin with the --plugin-load-add option by specifying the\noption as a command-line argument to mysqld or by specifying the option in a\nrelevant server option group in an option file.\n\nThe --plugin-load-add option uses the following format:\n\n* Plugins can be specified in the format name=library, where name is the\nplugin name and library is the plugin library. This format installs a single\nplugin from the given plugin library.\n* Plugins can also be specified in the format library, where library is the\nplugin library. This format installs all plugins from the given plugin library.\n* Multiple plugins can be specified by separating them with semicolons.\n\nFor example, to install all plugins in the server_audit plugin library (which\nis currently only the server_audit audit plugin) and also the ed25519\nauthentication plugin from the auth_ed25519 plugin library, you could set the\noption to the following values on the command-line:\n\n$ mysqld --user=mysql --plugin-load-add=\'server_audit\'\n--plugin-load-add=\'ed25519=auth_ed25519\'\n\nYou could also set the option to the same values in an option file:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load_add = server_audit\nplugin_load_add = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\nSpecial care must be taken when specifying both the --plugin-load option and\nthe --plugin-load-add option together. The --plugin-load option resets the\nplugin load list, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware.\nThe --plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is\nmuch safer to use. See Specifying Multiple Plugin Load Options for more\ninformation.\n\nInstalling a Plugin with --plugin-load\n--------------------------------------\n\nYou can install a plugin with the --plugin-load option by specifying the\noption as a command-line argument to mysqld or by specifying the option in a\nrelevant server option group in an option file.\n\nThe --plugin-load option uses the following format:\n\n* Plugins can be specified in the format name=library, where name is the\nplugin name and library is the plugin library. This format installs a single\nplugin from the given plugin library.\n* Plugins can also be specified in the format library, where library is the\nplugin library. This format installs all plugins from the given plugin library.\n* Multiple plugins can be specified by separating them with semicolons.\n\nFor example, to install all plugins in the server_audit plugin library (which\nis currently only the server_audit audit plugin) and also the ed25519\nauthentication plugin from the auth_ed25519 plugin library, you could set the\noption to the following values on the command-line:\n\n$ mysqld --user=mysql --plugin-load=\'server_audit;ed25519=auth_ed25519\'\n\nYou could also set the option to the same values in an option file:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load = server_audit;ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\nSpecial care must be taken when specifying the --plugin-load option multiple\ntimes, or when specifying both the --plugin-load option and the\n--plugin-load-add option together. The --plugin-load option resets the plugin\nload list, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware. The\n--plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is much\nsafer to use. See Specifying Multiple Plugin Load Options for more information.\n\nSpecifying Multiple Plugin Load Options\n---------------------------------------\n\nSpecial care must be taken when specifying the --plugin-load option multiple\ntimes, or when specifying both the --plugin-load option and the\n--plugin-load-add option. The --plugin-load option resets the plugin load\nlist, and this can cause unexpected problems if you are not aware. The\n--plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list, so it is much\nsafer to use.\n\nThis can have the following consequences:\n\n* If the --plugin-load option is specified multiple times, then only the last\ninstance will have any effect. For example, in the following case, the first\ninstance of the option is reset:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load = server_audit\nplugin_load = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\n* If the --plugin-load option is specified after the --plugin-load-add option,\nthen it will also reset the changes made by that option. For example, in the\nfollowing case, the --plugin-load-add option does not do anything, because the\nsubsequent --plugin-load option resets the plugin load list:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load_add = server_audit\nplugin_load = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\n* In contrast, if the --plugin-load option is specified before the\n--plugin-load-add option, then it will work fine, because the\n--plugin-load-add option does not reset the plugin load list. For example, in\nthe following case, both plugins are properly loaded:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_load = server_audit\nplugin_load_add = ed25519=auth_ed25519\n\nInstalling a Plugin with mysql_plugin\n-------------------------------------\n\nA plugin can be installed with the mysql_plugin utility if the server is\ncompletely offline.\n\nThe syntax is:\n\nmysql_plugin [options] ENABLE|DISABLE\n\nFor example, to install the server_audit audit plugin, you could execute the\nfollowing:\n\nmysql_plugin server_audit ENABLE\n\nIf a plugin is installed with this utility, then a record will be added to the\nmysql.plugins table for the plugin. This means that the plugin will\nautomatically be loaded every time the server restarts, unless specifically\nuninstalled or deactivated.\n\nConfiguring the Plugin Directory\n--------------------------------\n\nWhen a plugin is being installed, the server looks for the plugin\'s library in\nthe server\'s plugin directory. This directory is configured by the plugin_dir\nsystem variable. This can be specified as a command-line argument to mysqld or\nit can be specified in a relevant server option group in an option file. For\nexample:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_dir = /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin\n\nConfiguring the Minimum Plugin Maturity\n---------------------------------------\n\nWhen a plugin is being installed, the server compares the plugin\'s maturity\nlevel against the server\'s minimum allowed plugin maturity. This can help\nprevent users from using unstable plugins on production servers. This minimum\nplugin maturity is configured by the plugin_maturity system variable. This can\nbe specified as a command-line argument to mysqld or it can be specified in a\nrelevant server option group in an option file. For example:\n\n[mariadb]\n...\nplugin_maturity = stable\n\nConfiguring Plugin Activation at Server Startup\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nA plugin will be loaded by default when the server starts if:\n\n* The plugin was installed with the INSTALL SONAME statement.\n* The plugin was installed with the INSTALL PLUGIN statement.\n* The plugin was installed with the mysql_plugin utility.\n* The server is configured to load the plugin with the --plugin-load-add\noption.\n* The server is configured to load the plugin with the --plugin-load option.\n\nThis behavior can be changed with special options that take the form\n--plugin-name. For example, for the server_audit audit plugin, the special\noption is called --server-audit.\n\nThe possible values for these special options are:\n\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| Option Value | Description |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| OFF | Disables the plugin without |\n| | removing it from the |\n| | mysql.plugins table. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| ON | Enables the plugin. If the plugin |\n| | cannot be initialized, then the |\n| | server will still continue |\n| | starting up, but the plugin will |\n| | be disabled. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| FORCE | Enables the plugin. If the plugin |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/plugin-overview/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| | cannot be initialized, then the |\n| | server will fail to start with an |\n| | error. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n| FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT | Enables the plugin.

In addition, the plugin |\n| | cannot be uninstalled with |\n| | UNINSTALL SONAME or UNINSTALL |\n| | PLUGIN while the server is |\n| | running. |\n+---------------------------------------+------------------------------------+\n\nA plugin\'s status can be found by looking at the PLUGIN_STATUS column of the\ninformation_schema.PLUGINS table.\n\nUninstalling Plugins\n--------------------\n\nPlugins that are found in the mysql.plugin table, that is those that were\ninstalled with INSTALL SONAME, INSTALL PLUGIN or mysql_plugin can be\nuninstalled in one of two ways:\n\n* The UNINSTALL SONAME or the UNINSTALL PLUGIN statement while the server is\nrunning\n* With mysql_plugin while the server is offline.\n\nPlugins that were enabled as a --plugin-load option do not need to be\nuninstalled. If --plugin-load is omitted the next time the server starts, or\nthe plugin is not listed as one of the --plugin-load entries, the plugin will\nnot be loaded.\n\nUNINSTALL PLUGIN uninstalls a single installed plugin, while UNINSTALL SONAME\nuninstalls all plugins belonging to a given library.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/plugin-overview/') WHERE help_topic_id = 79; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (80,6,'MBR Definition','Description\n-----------\n\nThe MBR (Minimum Bounding Rectangle), or Envelope is the bounding geometry,\nformed by the minimum and maximum (X,Y) coordinates:\n\nExamples\n--------\n\n((MINX MINY, MAXX MINY, MAXX MAXY, MINX MAXY, MINX MINY))\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mbr-definition/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mbr-definition/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (81,6,'MBRContains','Syntax\n------\n\nMBRContains(g1,g2)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns 1 or 0 to indicate whether the Minimum Bounding Rectangle of g1\ncontains the Minimum Bounding Rectangle of g2.

For example, to set the default isolation level to REPEATABLE\nREAD, use these lines in the [mysqld] section of an option file:\n\n[mysqld]\ntransaction-isolation = REPEATABLE-READ\nTo determine the global and session transaction isolation levels at runtime,\ncheck the value of the tx_isolation system variable:\n\nSELECT @@GLOBAL.tx_isolation, @@tx_isolation;\n\nInnoDB supports each of the translation isolation levels described here using\ndifferent locking strategies. The default level is REPEATABLE READ. For\nadditional information about InnoDB record-level locks and how it uses them to\nexecute various types of statements, see InnoDB Lock Modes, and\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-locks-set.html.\n\nIsolation Levels\n----------------\n\nThe following sections describe how MariaDB supports the different transaction\nlevels.\n\nREAD UNCOMMITTED\n----------------\n\nSELECT statements are performed in a non-locking fashion, but a possible\nearlier version of a row might be used. Thus, using this isolation level, such\nreads are not consistent. This is also called a \"dirty read.\" Otherwise, this\nisolation level works like READ COMMITTED.\n\nREAD COMMITTED\n--------------\n\nA somewhat Oracle-like isolation level with respect to consistent\n(non-locking) reads: Each consistent read, even within the same transaction,\nsets and reads its own fresh snapshot. See\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-consistent-read.html.\n\nFor locking reads (SELECT with FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARE MODE), InnoDB locks\nonly index records, not the gaps before them, and thus allows the free\ninsertion of new records next to locked records. For UPDATE and DELETE\nstatements, locking depends on whether the statement uses a unique index with\na unique search condition (such as WHERE id = 100), or a range-type search\ncondition (such as WHERE id > 100). For a unique index with a unique search\ncondition, InnoDB locks only the index record found, not the gap before it.\nFor range-type searches, InnoDB locks the index range scanned, using gap locks\nor next-key (gap plus index-record) locks to block insertions by other\nsessions into the gaps covered by the range. This is necessary because\n\"phantom rows\" must be blocked for MySQL replication and recovery to work.\n\nNote: If the READ COMMITTED isolation level is used or the\ninnodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog system variable is enabled, there is no InnoDB\ngap locking except for foreign-key constraint checking and duplicate-key\nchecking. Also, record locks for non-matching rows are released after MariaDB\nhas evaluated the WHERE condition.If you use READ COMMITTED or enable\ninnodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog, you must use row-based binary logging.\n\nREPEATABLE READ\n---------------\n\nThis is the default isolation level for InnoDB. For consistent reads, there is\nan important difference from the READ COMMITTED isolation level: All\nconsistent reads within the same transaction read the snapshot established by\nthe first read. This convention means that if you issue several plain\n(non-locking) SELECT statements within the same transaction, these SELECT\nstatements are consistent also with respect to each other. See\nhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-consistent-read.html.\n\nFor locking reads (SELECT with FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARE MODE), UPDATE, and\nDELETE statements, locking depends on whether the statement uses a unique\nindex with a unique search condition, or a range-type search condition. For a\nunique index with a unique search condition, InnoDB locks only the index\nrecord found, not the gap before it. For other search conditions, InnoDB locks\nthe index range scanned, using gap locks or next-key (gap plus index-record)\nlocks to block insertions by other sessions into the gaps covered by the range.\n\nThis is the minimum isolation level for non-distributed XA transactions.\n\nSERIALIZABLE\n------------\n\nThis level is like REPEATABLE READ, but InnoDB implicitly converts all plain\nSELECT statements to SELECT ... LOCK IN SHARE MODE if autocommit is disabled.\nIf autocommit is enabled, the SELECT is its own transaction. It therefore is\nknown to be read only and can be serialized if performed as a consistent\n(non-locking) read and need not block for other transactions. (This means that\nto force a plain SELECT to block if other transactions have modified the\nselected rows, you should disable autocommit.)\n\nDistributed XA transactions should always use this isolation level.\n\nAccess Mode\n-----------\n\nThe access mode specifies whether the transaction is allowed to write data or\nnot. By default, transactions are in READ WRITE mode (see the tx_read_only\nsystem variable). READ ONLY mode allows the storage engine to apply\noptimizations that cannot be used for transactions which write data. The only\nexception to this rule is that read only transactions can perform DDL\nstatements on temporary tables.\n\nIt is not permitted to specify both READ WRITE and READ ONLY in the same\nstatement.\n\nREAD WRITE and READ ONLY can also be specified in the START TRANSACTION\nstatement, in which case the specified mode is only valid for one transaction.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSET GLOBAL TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;\n\nAttempting to set the isolation level within an existing transaction without\nspecifying GLOBAL or SESSION.\n\nSTART TRANSACTION;\n\nSET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;\nERROR 1568 (25001): Transaction characteristics can\'t be changed while a\ntransaction is in progress\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-transaction/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-transaction/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (95,8,'START TRANSACTION','Syntax\n------\n\nSTART TRANSACTION [transaction_property [, transaction_property] ...] | BEGIN\n[WORK]\nCOMMIT [WORK] [AND [NO] CHAIN] [[NO] RELEASE]\nROLLBACK [WORK] [AND [NO] CHAIN] [[NO] RELEASE]\nSET autocommit = {0 | 1}\n\ntransaction_property:\n WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT\n | READ WRITE\n | READ ONLY\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe START TRANSACTION or BEGIN statement begins a new transaction. COMMIT\ncommits the current transaction, making its changes permanent. ROLLBACK rolls\nback the current transaction, canceling its changes. The SET autocommit\nstatement disables or enables the default autocommit mode for the current\nsession.\n\nSTART TRANSACTION and SET autocommit = 1 implicitly commit the current\ntransaction, if any.\n\nThe optional WORK keyword is supported for COMMIT and ROLLBACK, as are the\nCHAIN and RELEASE clauses. CHAIN and RELEASE can be used for additional\ncontrol over transaction completion. The value of the completion_type system\nvariable determines the default completion behavior.\n\nThe AND CHAIN clause causes a new transaction to begin as soon as the current\none ends, and the new transaction has the same isolation level as the\njust-terminated transaction. The RELEASE clause causes the server to\ndisconnect the current client session after terminating the current\ntransaction. Including the NO keyword suppresses CHAIN or RELEASE completion,\nwhich can be useful if the completion_type system variable is set to cause\nchaining or release completion by default.\n\nAccess Mode\n-----------\n\nThe access mode specifies whether the transaction is allowed to write data or\nnot. By default, transactions are in READ WRITE mode (see the tx_read_only\nsystem variable). READ ONLY mode allows the storage engine to apply\noptimizations that cannot be used for transactions which write data. The only\nexception to this rule is that read only transactions can perform DDL\nstatements on temporary tables.\n\nIt is not permitted to specify both READ WRITE and READ ONLY in the same\nstatement.\n\nREAD WRITE and READ ONLY can also be specified in the SET TRANSACTION\nstatement, in which case the specified mode is valid for all sessions, or for\nall subsequent transaction used by the current session.\n\nautocommit\n----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB runs with autocommit mode enabled. This means that as soon\nas you execute a statement that updates (modifies) a table, MariaDB stores the\nupdate on disk to make it permanent. To disable autocommit mode, use the\nfollowing statement:\n\nSET autocommit=0;\n\nAfter disabling autocommit mode by setting the autocommit variable to zero,\nchanges to transaction-safe tables (such as those for InnoDB or NDBCLUSTER)\nare not made permanent immediately. You must use COMMIT to store your changes\nto disk or ROLLBACK to ignore the changes.\n\nTo disable autocommit mode for a single series of statements, use the START\nTRANSACTION statement.\n\nDDL Statements\n--------------\n\nDDL statements (CREATE, ALTER, DROP) and administrative statements (FLUSH,\nRESET, OPTIMIZE, ANALYZE, CHECK, REPAIR, CACHE INDEX), transaction management\nstatements (BEGIN, START TRANSACTION) and LOAD DATA INFILE, cause an implicit\nCOMMIT and start a new transaction. An exception to this rule are the DDL that\noperate on temporary tables: you can CREATE, ALTER and DROP them without\ncausing any COMMIT, but those actions cannot be rolled back. This means that\nif you call ROLLBACK, the temporary tables you created in the transaction will\nremain, while the rest of the transaction will be rolled back.\n\nTransactions cannot be used in Stored Functions or Triggers. In Stored\nProcedures and Events BEGIN is not allowed, so you should use START\nTRANSACTION instead.\n\nA transaction acquires a metadata lock on every table it accesses to prevent\nother connections from altering their structure. The lock is released at the\nend of the transaction. This happens even with non-transactional storage\nengines (like MEMORY or CONNECT), so it makes sense to use transactions with\nnon-transactional tables.\n\nin_transaction\n--------------\n\nThe in_transaction system variable is a session-only, read-only variable that\nreturns 1 inside a transaction, and 0 if not in a transaction.\n\nWITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT\n------------------------\n\nThe WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT option starts a consistent read for storage\nengines such as InnoDB that can do so, the same as if a START TRANSACTION\nfollowed by a SELECT from any InnoDB table was issued.\n\nSee Enhancements for START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSTART TRANSACTION;\nSELECT @A:=SUM(salary) FROM table1 WHERE type=1;\nUPDATE table2 SET summary=@A WHERE type=1;\nCOMMIT;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/start-transaction/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/start-transaction/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (96,8,'COMMIT','The COMMIT statement ends a transaction, saving any changes to the data so\nthat they become visible to subsequent transactions.

Otherwise, all transactions which don\'t end\nwith an explicit COMMIT are implicitly rollbacked and the changes are lost.\nThe ROLLBACK statement can be used to do this explicitly.\n\nThe required syntax for the COMMIT statement is as follows:\n\nCOMMIT [WORK] [AND [NO] CHAIN] [[NO] RELEASE]\n\nCOMMIT is the more important transaction terminator, as well as the more\ninteresting one. The basic form of the COMMIT statement is simply the keyword\nCOMMIT (the keyword WORK is simply noise and can be omitted without changing\nthe effect).\n\nThe optional AND CHAIN clause is a convenience for initiating a new\ntransaction as soon as the old transaction terminates. If AND CHAIN is\nspecified, then there is effectively nothing between the old and new\ntransactions, although they remain separate.

The AND NO CHAIN option just tells your DBMS to end the\ntransaction — that is, these four SQL statements are equivalent:\n\nROLLBACK; \nROLLBACK WORK; \nROLLBACK AND NO CHAIN; \nROLLBACK WORK AND NO CHAIN;\n\nAll of them end a transaction without saving any transaction characteristics.\nThe only other options, the equivalent statements:\n\nROLLBACK AND CHAIN;\nROLLBACK WORK AND CHAIN;\n\nboth tell your DBMS to end a transaction, but to save that transaction\'s\ncharacteristics for the next transaction.\n\nROLLBACK is much simpler than COMMIT: it may involve no more than a few\ndeletions (of Cursors, locks, prepared SQL statements and log-file entries).\nIt\'s usually assumed that ROLLBACK can\'t fail, although such a thing is\nconceivable (for example, an encompassing transaction might reject an attempt\nto ROLLBACK because it\'s lining up for a COMMIT).\n\nROLLBACK cancels all effects of a transaction. It does not cancel effects on\nobjects outside the DBMS\'s control (for example the values in host program\nvariables or the settings made by some SQL/CLI function calls). But in\ngeneral, it is a convenient statement for those situations when you say \"oops,\nthis isn\'t working\" or when you simply don\'t care whether your temporary work\nbecomes permanent or not.\n\nHere is a moot question. If all you\'ve been doing is SELECTs, so that there\nhave been no data changes, should you end the transaction with ROLLBACK or\nCOMMIT? It shouldn\'t really matter because both ROLLBACK and COMMIT do the\nsame transaction-terminating job. However, the popular conception is that\nROLLBACK implies failure, so after a successful series of SELECT statements\nthe convention is to end the transaction with COMMIT rather than ROLLBACK.\n\nMariaDB (and most other DBMSs) supports rollback of SQL-data change\nstatements, but not of SQL-Schema statements. This means that if you use any\nof CREATE, ALTER, DROP, GRANT, REVOKE, you are implicitly committing at\nexecution time.\n\nINSERT INTO Table_2 VALUES(5); \nDROP TABLE Table_3 CASCADE; \nROLLBACK;\n\nThe result will be that both the INSERT and the DROP will go through as\nseparate transactions so the ROLLBACK will have no effect.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rollback/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rollback/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (98,8,'LOCK TABLES','Syntax\n------\n\nLOCK TABLE[S]\n tbl_name [[AS] alias] lock_type\n [, tbl_name [[AS] alias] lock_type] ...\n [WAIT n|NOWAIT]\n\nlock_type:\n READ [LOCAL]\n | [LOW_PRIORITY] WRITE\n | WRITE CONCURRENT\n\nUNLOCK TABLES\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe lock_type can be one of:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| READ | Read lock, no writes allowed |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| READ LOCAL | Read lock, but allow concurrent inserts |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| WRITE | Exclusive write lock.

One session cannot acquire locks for another session or release locks\nheld by another session.\n\nLocks may be used to emulate transactions or to get more speed when updating\ntables.\n\nLOCK TABLES explicitly acquires table locks for the current client session.\nTable locks can be acquired for base tables or views.

This document is published by\nThe Open Group and available at\nhttp://www.opengroup.org/public/pubs/catalog/c193.htm.\n\nXA transactions are designed to allow distributed transactions, where a\ntransaction manager (the application) controls a transaction which involves\nmultiple resources. Such resources are usually DBMSs, but could be resources\nof any type. The whole set of required transactional operations is called a\nglobal transaction. Each subset of operations which involve a single resource\nis called a local transaction. XA used a 2-phases commit (2PC). With the first\ncommit, the transaction manager tells each resource to prepare an effective\ncommit, and waits for a confirm message. The changes are not still made\neffective at this point. If any of the resources encountered an error, the\ntransaction manager will rollback the global transaction. If all resources\ncommunicate that the first commit is successful, the transaction manager can\nrequire a second commit, which makes the changes effective.\n\nIn MariaDB, XA transactions can only be used with storage engines that support\nthem. At least InnoDB, TokuDB, SPIDER and MyRocks support them. For InnoDB,\nuntil MariaDB 10.2, XA transactions can be disabled by setting the\ninnodb_support_xa server system variable to 0. From MariaDB 10.3, XA\ntransactions are always supported.\n\nLike regular transactions, XA transactions create metadata locks on accessed\ntables.\n\nXA transactions require REPEATABLE READ as a minimum isolation level. However,\ndistributed transactions should always use SERIALIZABLE.\n\nTrying to start more than one XA transaction at the same time produces a 1400\nerror (SQLSTATE \'XAE09\'). The same error is produced when attempting to start\nan XA transaction while a regular transaction is in effect. Trying to start a\nregular transaction while an XA transaction is in effect produces a 1399 error\n(SQLSTATE \'XAE07\').\n\nThe statements that cause an implicit COMMIT for regular transactions produce\na 1400 error (SQLSTATE \'XAE09\') if a XA transaction is in effect.\n\nInternal XA vs External XA\n--------------------------\n\nXA transactions are an overloaded term in MariaDB. If a storage engine is\nXA-capable, it can mean one or both of these:\n\n* It supports MariaDB\'s internal two-phase commit API. This is transparent to\nthe user. Sometimes this is called \"internal XA\", since MariaDB\'s internal\ntransaction coordinator log can handle coordinating these transactions.\n\n* It supports XA transactions, with the XA START, XA PREPARE, XA COMMIT, etc.\nstatements. Sometimes this is called \"external XA\", since it requires the use\nof an external transaction coordinator to use this feature properly.\n\nTransaction Coordinator Log\n---------------------------\n\nIf you have two or more XA-capable storage engines enabled, then a transaction\ncoordinator log must be available.\n\nThere are currently two implementations of the transaction coordinator log:\n\n* Binary log-based transaction coordinator log\n* Memory-mapped file-based transaction coordinator log\n\nIf the binary log is enabled on a server, then the server will use the binary\nlog-based transaction coordinator log. Otherwise, it will use the\nmemory-mapped file-based transaction coordinator log.\n\nSee Transaction Coordinator Log for more information.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nXA {START|BEGIN} xid [JOIN|RESUME]\n\nXA END xid [SUSPEND [FOR MIGRATE]]\n\nXA PREPARE xid\n\nXA COMMIT xid [ONE PHASE]\n\nXA ROLLBACK xid\n\nXA RECOVER [FORMAT=[\'RAW\'|\'SQL\']]\n\nxid: gtrid [, bqual [, formatID ]]\n\nThe interface to XA transactions is a set of SQL statements starting with XA.\nEach statement changes a transaction\'s state, determining which actions it can\nperform. A transaction which does not exist is in the NON-EXISTING state.\n\nXA START (or BEGIN) starts a transaction and defines its xid (a transaction\nidentifier). The JOIN or RESUME keywords have no effect. The new transaction\nwill be in ACTIVE state.\n\nThe xid can have 3 components, though only the first one is mandatory. gtrid\nis a quoted string representing a global transaction identifier. bqual is a\nquoted string representing a local transaction identifier. formatID is an\nunsigned integer indicating the format used for the first two components; if\nnot specified, defaults to 1. MariaDB does not interpret in any way these\ncomponents, and only uses them to identify a transaction. xids of transactions\nin effect must be unique.\n\nXA END declares that the specified ACTIVE transaction is finished and it\nchanges its state to IDLE. SUSPEND [FOR MIGRATE] has no effect.\n\nXA PREPARE prepares an IDLE transaction for commit, changing its state to\nPREPARED. This is the first commit.\n\nXA COMMIT definitely commits and terminates a transaction which has already\nbeen PREPARED. If the ONE PHASE clause is specified, this statements performs\na 1-phase commit on an IDLE transaction.\n\nXA ROLLBACK rolls back and terminates an IDLE or PREPARED transaction.\n\nXA RECOVER shows information about all PREPARED transactions.\n\nWhen trying to execute an operation which is not allowed for the transaction\'s\ncurrent state, an error is produced:\n\nXA COMMIT \'test\' ONE PHASE;\nERROR 1399 (XAE07): XAER_RMFAIL: The command cannot be executed when global\ntransaction is in the ACTIVE state\n\nXA COMMIT \'test2\';\nERROR 1399 (XAE07): XAER_RMFAIL: The command cannot be executed when global\ntransaction is in the NON-EXISTING state\n\nXA RECOVER\n----------\n\nThe XA RECOVER statement shows information about all transactions which are in\nthe PREPARED state. It does not matter which connection created the\ntransaction: if it has been PREPARED, it appears. But this does not mean that\na connection can commit or rollback a transaction which was started by another\nconnection. Note that transactions using a 1-phase commit are never in the\nPREPARED state, so they cannot be shown by XA RECOVER.\n\nXA RECOVER produces four columns:\n\nXA RECOVER;\n+----------+--------------+--------------+------+\n| formatID | gtrid_length | bqual_length | data |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+------+\n| 1 | 4 | 0 | test |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+------+\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nYou can use XA RECOVER FORMAT=\'SQL\' to get the data in a human readable form\nthat can be directly copy-pasted into XA COMMIT or XA ROLLBACK. This is\nparticularly useful for binary xid generated by some transaction coordinators.\n\nformatID is the formatID part of xid.\n\ndata are the gtrid and bqual parts of xid, concatenated.\n\ngtrid_length and bqual_length are the lengths of gtrid and bqual, respectevely.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\n2-phases commit:\n\nXA START \'test\';\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (1,2);\n\nXA END \'test\';\n\nXA PREPARE \'test\';\n\nXA COMMIT \'test\';\n\n1-phase commit:\n\nXA START \'test\';\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES (1,2);\n\nXA END \'test\';\n\nXA COMMIT \'test\' ONE PHASE;\n\nHuman-readable:\n\nxa start \'12\\r34\\t67\\v78\', \'abc\\ndef\', 3;\n\ninsert t1 values (40);\n\nxa end \'12\\r34\\t67\\v78\', \'abc\\ndef\', 3;\n\nxa prepare \'12\\r34\\t67\\v78\', \'abc\\ndef\', 3;\n\nxa recover format=\'RAW\';\n+----------+--------------+--------------+--------------------+\n| formatID | gtrid_length | bqual_length | data |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+--------------------+\n34 67v78abc 11 | 7 | 12\ndef |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+--------------------+\n\nxa recover format=\'SQL\';\n+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------------------------------\n---------+\n| formatID | gtrid_length | bqual_length | data \n |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------------------------------\n---------+\n| 3 | 11 | 7 |\nX\'31320d3334093637763738\',X\'6162630a646566\',3 |\n+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------------------------------\n---------+\n\nxa rollback X\'31320d3334093637763738\',X\'6162630a646566\',3;\n\nKnown Issues\n------------\n\nMariaDB Galera Cluster\n----------------------\n\nMariaDB Galera Cluster does not support XA transactions.\n\nHowever, MariaDB Galera Cluster builds include a built-in plugin called wsrep.\nPrior to MariaDB 10.4.3, this plugin was internally considered an XA-capable\nstorage engine. Consequently, these MariaDB Galera Cluster builds have\nmultiple XA-capable storage engines by default, even if the only \"real\"\nstorage engine that supports external XA transactions enabled on these builds\nby default is InnoDB. Therefore, when using one these builds MariaDB would be\nforced to use a transaction coordinator log by default, which could have\nperformance implications.\n\nSee Transaction Coordinator Log Overview: MariaDB Galera Cluster for more\ninformation.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/xa-transactions/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/xa-transactions/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (105,10,'CREATE USER','Syntax\n------\n\nCREATE [OR REPLACE] USER [IF NOT EXISTS] \n user_specification [,user_specification ...] \n [REQUIRE {NONE | tls_option [[AND] tls_option ...] }]\n [WITH resource_option [resource_option ...] ]\n [lock_option] [password_option]\n\nuser_specification:\n username [authentication_option]\n\nauthentication_option:\n IDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n | IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n | IDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_rule [OR authentication_rule ...]\n\nauthentication_rule:\n authentication_plugin\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} \'authentication_string\'\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} PASSWORD(\'password\')\n\ntls_option:\n SSL\n | X509\n | CIPHER \'cipher\'\n | ISSUER \'issuer\'\n | SUBJECT \'subject\'\n\nresource_option:\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS count\n | MAX_STATEMENT_TIME time\n\npassword_option:\n PASSWORD EXPIRE\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL N DAY\n\nlock_option:\n ACCOUNT LOCK\n | ACCOUNT UNLOCK\n}\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe CREATE USER statement creates new MariaDB accounts. To use it, you must\nhave the global CREATE USER privilege or the INSERT privilege for the mysql\ndatabase. For each account, CREATE USER creates a new row in mysql.user (until\nMariaDB 10.3 this is a table, from MariaDB 10.4 it\'s a view) or\nmysql.global_priv_table (from MariaDB 10.4) that has no privileges.\n\nIf any of the specified accounts, or any permissions for the specified\naccounts, already exist, then the server returns ERROR 1396 (HY000). If an\nerror occurs, CREATE USER will still create the accounts that do not result in\nan error. Only one error is produced for all users which have not been created:\n\nERROR 1396 (HY000): \n Operation CREATE USER failed for \'u1\'@\'%\',\'u2\'@\'%\'\n\nCREATE USER, DROP USER, CREATE ROLE, and DROP ROLE all produce the same error\ncode when they fail.\n\nSee Account Names below for details on how account names are specified.\n\nOR REPLACE\n----------\n\nIf the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it is basically a shortcut for:\n\nDROP USER IF EXISTS name;\nCREATE USER name ...;\n\nFor example:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for \'foo2\'@\'test\'\n\nCREATE OR REPLACE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)\n\nIF NOT EXISTS\n-------------\n\nWhen the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead\nof an error if the specified user already exists.\n\nFor example:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for \'foo2\'@\'test\'\n\nCREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'password\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)\n\nSHOW WARNINGS;\n+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+\n| Level | Code | Message |\n+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+\n| Note | 1973 | Can\'t create user \'foo2\'@\'test\'; it already exists |\n+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+\n\nAuthentication Options\n----------------------\n\nIDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a\npassword. The password should be specified in plain text. It will be hashed by\nthe PASSWORD function prior to being stored in the\nmysql.user/mysql.global_priv_table table.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can create the user with:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n--------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause can be used to provide an account\nwith a password that has already been hashed. The password should be specified\nas a hash that was provided by the PASSWORD function. It will be stored in the\nmysql.user/mysql.global_priv_table table as-is.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can find the hash with:\n\nSELECT PASSWORD(\'mariadb\');\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| PASSWORD(\'mariadb\') |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n1 row in set (0.00 sec)\n\nAnd then we can create a user with the hash:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_plugin\n-------------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED VIA authentication_plugin allows you to specify that\nthe account should be authenticated by a specific authentication plugin. The\nplugin name must be an active authentication plugin as per SHOW PLUGINS. If it\ndoesn\'t show up in that output, then you will need to install it with INSTALL\nPLUGIN or INSTALL SONAME.\n\nFor example, this could be used with the PAM authentication plugin:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam;\n\nSome authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a\nUSING or AS keyword. For example, the PAM authentication plugin accepts a\nservice name:\n\nCREATE USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\n\nThe exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific\nauthentication plugin.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.0\n----------------------------\nThe USING or AS keyword can also be used to provide a plain-text password to a\nplugin if it\'s provided as an argument to the PASSWORD() function. This is\nonly valid for authentication plugins that have implemented a hook for the\nPASSWORD() function. For example, the ed25519 authentication plugin supports\nthis:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 USING PASSWORD(\'secret\');\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nOne can specify many authentication plugins, they all work as alternatives\nways of authenticating a user:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 USING PASSWORD(\'secret\') OR\nunix_socket;\n\nBy default, when you create a user without specifying an authentication\nplugin, MariaDB uses the mysql_native_password plugin.\n\nTLS Options\n-----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without\nencrypting it. This is generally acceptable when the server and client run on\nthe same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.\nHowever, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or\nthey are in a high-risk network, the lack of encryption does introduce\nsecurity concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the\ntraffic as it is sent over the network between them.\n\nTo mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit\nbetween the server and clients using the Transport Layer Security (TLS)\nprotocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly\nspeaking the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the\nprotocol is now considered insecure. The documentation still uses the term SSL\noften and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status\nvariables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its\nsecure successors.\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine\nwhether your MariaDB server has TLS support.\n\nYou can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For\ninstance, you might use this with user accounts that require access to\nsensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These\nrestrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER\nUSER, or GRANT statements. The following options are available:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE NONE | TLS is not required for this account, but can |\n| | still be used. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SSL | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. This option cannot |\n| | be combined with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE X509 | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. This option implies |\n| | REQUIRE SSL. This option cannot be combined |\n| | with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE ISSUER \'issuer\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate |\n| | Authority must be the one specified via the |\n| | string issuer. This option implies REQUIRE |\n| | X509. This option can be combined with the |\n| | SUBJECT, and CIPHER options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SUBJECT \'subject\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the |\n| | certificate\'s Subject must be the one |\n| | specified via the string subject. This option |\n| | implies REQUIRE X509. This option can be |\n| | combined with the ISSUER, and CIPHER options |\n| | in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE CIPHER \'cipher\' | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. Also, the encryption |\n| | used for the connection must use a specific |\n| | cipher method specified in the string cipher. |\n| | This option implies REQUIRE SSL. This option |\n| | can be combined with the ISSUER, and SUBJECT |\n| | options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n\nThe REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the\nAND keyword can be used to separate individual options, but it is not required.\n\nFor example, you can create a user account that requires these TLS options\nwith the following:\n\nCREATE USER \'alice\'@\'%\'\n REQUIRE SUBJECT \'/CN=alice/O=My Dom, Inc./C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland\'\n AND ISSUER \'/C=FI/ST=Somewhere/L=City/ O=Some Company/CN=Peter\nParker/emailAddress=p.parker@marvel.com\'\n AND CIPHER \'SHA-DES-CBC3-EDH-RSA\';\n\nIf any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client\nwho tries to connect with that user account will have to be configured to\nconnect with TLS.\n\nSee Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to\nenable TLS on the client and server.\n\nResource Limit Options\n----------------------\n\nIt is possible to set per-account limits for certain server resources. The\nfollowing table shows the values that can be set per account:\n\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| Limit Type | Decription |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR | Number of statements that the |\n| | account can issue per hour |\n| | (including updates) |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR | Number of updates (not queries) |\n| | that the account can issue per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR | Number of connections that the |\n| | account can start per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS | Number of simultaneous connections |\n| | that can be accepted from the same |\n| | account; if it is 0, |\n| | max_connections will be used |\n| | instead; if max_connections is 0, |\n| | there is no limit for this |\n| | account\'s simultaneous connections. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_STATEMENT_TIME | Timeout, in seconds, for statements |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-user/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| | executed by the user. See also |\n| | Aborting Statements that Exceed a |\n| | Certain Time to Execute. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n\nIf any of these limits are set to 0, then there is no limit for that resource\nfor that user.\n\nHere is an example showing how to create a user with resource limits:\n\nCREATE USER \'someone\'@\'localhost\' WITH\n MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 10\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 200;\n\nThe resources are tracked per account, which means \'user\'@\'server\'; not per\nuser name or per connection.\n\nThe count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.\n\nPer account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql\ndatabase. Columns used for resources limits are named max_questions,\nmax_updates, max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR), and\nmax_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS).\n\nAccount Names\n-------------\n\nAccount names have both a user name component and a host name component, and\nare specified as \'user_name\'@\'host_name\'.\n\nThe user name and host name may be unquoted, quoted as strings using double\nquotes (\") or single quotes (\'), or quoted as identifiers using backticks (`).\nYou must use quotes when using special characters (such as a hyphen) or\nwildcard characters. If you quote, you must quote the user name and host name\nseparately (for example \'user_name\'@\'host_name\').\n\nHost Name Component\n-------------------\n\nIf the host name is not provided, it is assumed to be \'%\'.\n\nHost names may contain the wildcard characters % and _. They are matched as if\nby the LIKE clause. If you need to use a wildcard character literally (for\nexample, to match a domain name with an underscore), prefix the character with\na backslash. See LIKE for more information on escaping wildcard characters.\n\nHost name matches are case-insensitive. Host names can match either domain\nnames or IP addresses. Use \'localhost\' as the host name to allow only local\nclient connections.\n\nYou can use a netmask to match a range of IP addresses using \'base_ip/netmask\'\nas the host name. A user with an IP address ip_addr will be allowed to connect\nif the following condition is true:\n\nip_addr & netmask = base_ip\n\nFor example, given a user:\n\nCREATE USER \'maria\'@\'247.150.130.0/255.255.255.0\';\n\nthe IP addresses satisfying this condition range from 247.150.130.0 to\n247.150.130.255.\n\nUsing 255.255.255.255 is equivalent to not using a netmask at all. Netmasks\ncannot be used for IPv6 addresses.\n\nNote that the credentials added when creating a user with the \'%\' wildcard\nhost will not grant access in all cases. For example, some systems come with\nan anonymous localhost user, and when connecting from localhost this will take\nprecedence.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.6, the host name component could be up to 60 characters in\nlength. Starting from MariaDB 10.6, it can be up to 255 characters.\n\nUser Name Component\n-------------------\n\nUser names must match exactly, including case. A user name that is empty is\nknown as an anonymous account and is allowed to match a login attempt with any\nuser name component. These are described more in the next section.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as user names, see Identifier Names.\n\nIt is possible for more than one account to match when a user connects.\nMariaDB selects the first matching account after sorting according to the\nfollowing criteria:\n\n* Accounts with an exact host name are sorted before accounts using a wildcard\nin the\nhost name. Host names using a netmask are considered to be exact for sorting.\n* Accounts with a wildcard in the host name are sorted according to the\nposition of\nthe first wildcard character. Those with a wildcard character later in the\nhost name\nsort before those with a wildcard character earlier in the host name.\n* Accounts with a non-empty user name sort before accounts with an empty user\nname.\n* Accounts with an empty user name are sorted last. As mentioned previously,\nthese are known as anonymous accounts. These are described more in the next\nsection.\n\nThe following table shows a list of example account as sorted by these\ncriteria:\n\n+---------+-------------+\n| User | Host |\n+---------+-------------+\n| joffrey | 192.168.0.3 |\n| | 192.168.0.% |\n| joffrey | 192.168.% |\n| | 192.168.% |\n+---------+-------------+\n\nOnce connected, you only have the privileges granted to the account that\nmatched, not all accounts that could have matched. For example, consider the\nfollowing commands:\n\nCREATE USER \'joffrey\'@\'192.168.0.3\';\nCREATE USER \'joffrey\'@\'%\';\nGRANT SELECT ON test.t1 to \'joffrey\'@\'192.168.0.3\';\nGRANT SELECT ON test.t2 to \'joffrey\'@\'%\';\n\nIf you connect as joffrey from 192.168.0.3, you will have the SELECT privilege\non the table test.t1, but not on the table test.t2. If you connect as joffrey\nfrom any other IP address, you will have the SELECT privilege on the table\ntest.t2, but not on the table test.t1.\n\nUsernames can be up to 80 characters long before 10.6 and starting from 10.6\nit can be 128 characters long.\n\nAnonymous Accounts\n------------------\n\nAnonymous accounts are accounts where the user name portion of the account\nname is empty. These accounts act as special catch-all accounts. If a user\nattempts to log into the system from a host, and an anonymous account exists\nwith a host name portion that matches the user\'s host, then the user will log\nin as the anonymous account if there is no more specific account match for the\nuser name that the user entered.\n\nFor example, here are some anonymous accounts:\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'localhost\';\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'192.168.0.3\';\n\nFixing a Legacy Default Anonymous Account\n-----------------------------------------\n\nOn some systems, the mysql.db table has some entries for the \'\'@\'%\' anonymous\naccount by default. Unfortunately, there is no matching entry in the\nmysql.user/mysql.global_priv_table table, which means that this anonymous\naccount doesn\'t exactly exist, but it does have privileges--usually on the\ndefault test database created by mysql_install_db. These account-less\nprivileges are a legacy that is leftover from a time when MySQL\'s privilege\nsystem was less advanced.\n\nThis situation means that you will run into errors if you try to create a\n\'\'@\'%\' account. For example:\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'%\';\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for \'\'@\'%\'\n\nThe fix is to DELETE the row in the mysql.db table and then execute FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES:\n\nDELETE FROM mysql.db WHERE User=\'\' AND Host=\'%\';\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\n\nAnd then the account can be created:\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'%\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)\n\nSee MDEV-13486 for more information.\n\nPassword Expiry\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nBesides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime,\npassword expiry times can be set on an individual user basis, overriding the\nglobal setting, for example:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\n\nSee User Password Expiry for more details.\n\nAccount Locking\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.2\n----------------------------\nAccount locking permits privileged administrators to lock/unlock user\naccounts. No new client connections will be permitted if an account is locked\n(existing connections are not affected). For example:\n\nCREATE USER \'marijn\'@\'localhost\' ACCOUNT LOCK;\n\nSee Account Locking for more details.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.4.7 and MariaDB 10.5.8, the lock_option and password_option\nclauses can occur in either order.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-user/') WHERE help_topic_id = 105; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (106,10,'ALTER USER','Syntax\n------\n\nALTER USER [IF EXISTS] \n user_specification [,user_specification] ...\n [REQUIRE {NONE | tls_option [[AND] tls_option] ...}]\n [WITH resource_option [resource_option] ...]\n [lock_option] [password_option]\n\nuser_specification:\n username [authentication_option]\n\nauthentication_option:\n IDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n | IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n | IDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_rule [OR authentication_rule] ...\n\nauthentication_rule:\n authentication_plugin\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} \'authentication_string\'\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} PASSWORD(\'password\')\n\ntls_option\n SSL\n | X509\n | CIPHER \'cipher\'\n | ISSUER \'issuer\'\n | SUBJECT \'subject\'\n\nresource_option\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS count\n | MAX_STATEMENT_TIME time\n\npassword_option:\n PASSWORD EXPIRE\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER\n | PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL N DAY\n\nlock_option:\n ACCOUNT LOCK\n | ACCOUNT UNLOCK\n}\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe ALTER USER statement modifies existing MariaDB accounts. To use it, you\nmust have the global CREATE USER privilege or the UPDATE privilege for the\nmysql database. The global SUPER privilege is also required if the read_only\nsystem variable is enabled.\n\nIf any of the specified user accounts do not yet exist, an error results. If\nan error occurs, ALTER USER will still modify the accounts that do not result\nin an error. Only one error is produced for all users which have not been\nmodified.\n\nIF EXISTS\n---------\n\nWhen the IF EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead of an\nerror for each specified user that does not exist.\n\nAccount Names\n-------------\n\nFor ALTER USER statements, account names are specified as the username\nargument in the same way as they are for CREATE USER statements. See account\nnames from the CREATE USER page for details on how account names are specified.\n\nCURRENT_USER or CURRENT_USER() can also be used to alter the account logged\ninto the current session. For example, to change the current user\'s password\nto mariadb:\n\nALTER USER CURRENT_USER() IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nAuthentication Options\n----------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nFrom MariaDB 10.4, it is possible to use more than one authentication plugin\nfor each user account. For example, this can be useful to slowly migrate users\nto the more secure ed25519 authentication plugin over time, while allowing the\nold mysql_native_password authentication plugin as an alternative for the\ntransitional period. See Authentication from MariaDB 10.4 for more.\n\nWhen running ALTER USER, not specifying an authentication option in the\nIDENTIFIED VIA clause will remove that authentication method. (However this\nwas not the case before MariaDB 10.4.13, see MDEV-21928)\n\nFor example, a user is created with the ability to authenticate via both a\npassword and unix_socket:\n\nCREATE USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\' \n IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD(\'pwd\')\n OR unix_socket;\n\nSHOW CREATE USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\'\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\nCREATE USER for bob@localhost: CREATE USER `bob`@`localhost` \n IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password\n USING \'*975B2CD4FF9AE554FE8AD33168FBFC326D2021DD\'\n OR unix_socket\n\nIf the user\'s password is updated, but unix_socket authentication is not\nspecified in the IDENTIFIED VIA clause, unix_socket authentication will no\nlonger be permitted.\n\nALTER USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password \n USING PASSWORD(\'pwd2\');\n\nSHOW CREATE USER \'bob\'@\'localhost\'\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\nCREATE USER for bob@localhost: CREATE USER `bob`@`localhost` \n IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'*38366FDA01695B6A5A9DD4E428D9FB8F7EB75512\'\n\nIDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a\npassword. The password should be specified in plain text. It will be hashed by\nthe PASSWORD function prior to being stored to the mysql.user table.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can set the account\'s\npassword with:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n--------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause can be used to provide an account\nwith a password that has already been hashed. The password should be specified\nas a hash that was provided by the PASSWORD#function. It will be stored to the\nmysql.user table as-is.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can find the hash with:\n\nSELECT PASSWORD(\'mariadb\');\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| PASSWORD(\'mariadb\') |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n\nAnd then we can set an account\'s password with the hash:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test \n IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'*54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_plugin\n-------------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED VIA authentication_plugin allows you to specify that\nthe account should be authenticated by a specific authentication plugin. The\nplugin name must be an active authentication plugin as per SHOW PLUGINS. If it\ndoesn\'t show up in that output, then you will need to install it with INSTALL\nPLUGIN or INSTALL SONAME.\n\nFor example, this could be used with the PAM authentication plugin:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam;\n\nSome authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a\nUSING or AS keyword. For example, the PAM authentication plugin accepts a\nservice name:\n\nALTER USER foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\n\nThe exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific\nauthentication plugin.\n\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, the USING or AS keyword can also be used to provide\na plain-text password to a plugin if it\'s provided as an argument to the\nPASSWORD() function. This is only valid for authentication plugins that have\nimplemented a hook for the PASSWORD() function. For example, the ed25519\nauthentication plugin supports this:\n\nALTER USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 USING PASSWORD(\'secret\');\n\nTLS Options\n-----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without\nencrypting it. This is generally acceptable when the server and client run on\nthe same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.\nHowever, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or\nthey are in a high-risk network, the lack of encryption does introduce\nsecurity concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the\ntraffic as it is sent over the network between them.\n\nTo mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit\nbetween the server and clients using the Transport Layer Security (TLS)\nprotocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly\nspeaking the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the\nprotocol is now considered insecure. The documentation still uses the term SSL\noften and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status\nvariables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its\nsecure successors.\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine\nwhether your MariaDB server has TLS support.\n\nYou can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For\ninstance, you might use this with user accounts that require access to\nsensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These\nrestrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER\nUSER, or GRANT statements. The following options are available:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE NONE | TLS is not required for this account, but can |\n| | still be used. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SSL | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. This option cannot |\n| | be combined with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE X509 | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. This option implies |\n| | REQUIRE SSL. This option cannot be combined |\n| | with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE ISSUER \'issuer\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate |\n| | Authority must be the one specified via the |\n| | string issuer. This option implies REQUIRE |\n| | X509. This option can be combined with the |\n| | SUBJECT, and CIPHER options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SUBJECT \'subject\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the |\n| | certificate\'s Subject must be the one |\n| | specified via the string subject. This option |\n| | implies REQUIRE X509. This option can be |\n| | combined with the ISSUER, and CIPHER options |\n| | in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE CIPHER \'cipher\' | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. Also, the encryption |\n| | used for the connection must use a specific |\n| | cipher method specified in the string cipher. |\n| | This option implies REQUIRE SSL. This option |\n| | can be combined with the ISSUER, and SUBJECT |\n| | options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n\nThe REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the\nAND keyword can be used to separate individual options, but it is not required.\n\nFor example, you can alter a user account to require these TLS options with\nthe following:\n\nALTER USER \'alice\'@\'%\'\n REQUIRE SUBJECT \'/CN=alice/O=My Dom, Inc./C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland\' AND\n ISSUER \'/C=FI/ST=Somewhere/L=City/ O=Some Company/CN=Peter\nParker/emailAddress=p.parker@marvel.com\'\n AND CIPHER \'SHA-DES-CBC3-EDH-RSA\';\n\nIf any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client\nwho tries to connect with that user account will have to be configured to\nconnect with TLS.\n\nSee Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to\nenable TLS on the client and server.\n\nResource Limit Options\n----------------------\n\nIt is possible to set per-account limits for certain server resources. The\nfollowing table shows the values that can be set per account:\n\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| Limit Type | Description |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR | Number of statements that the |\n| | account can issue per hour |\n| | (including updates) |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR | Number of updates (not queries) that |\n| | the account can issue per hour |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR | Number of connections that the |\n| | account can start per hour |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS | Number of simultaneous connections |\n| | that can be accepted from the same |\n| | account; if it is 0, max_connections |\n| | will be used instead; if |\n| | max_connections is 0, there is no |\n| | limit for this account\'s |\n| | simultaneous connections. |','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-user/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n| MAX_STATEMENT_TIME | Timeout, in seconds, for statements |\n| | executed by the user. See also |\n| | Aborting Statements that Exceed a |\n| | Certain Time to Execute. |\n+------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+\n\nIf any of these limits are set to 0, then there is no limit for that resource\nfor that user.\n\nHere is an example showing how to set an account\'s resource limits:\n\nALTER USER \'someone\'@\'localhost\' WITH\n MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 10\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 200;\n\nThe resources are tracked per account, which means \'user\'@\'server\'; not per\nuser name or per connection.\n\nThe count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.\n\nPer account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql\ndatabase. Columns used for resources limits are named max_questions,\nmax_updates, max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR), and\nmax_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS).\n\nPassword Expiry\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nBesides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime,\npassword expiry times can be set on an individual user basis, overriding the\nglobal setting, for example:\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER;\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT;\n\nSee User Password Expiry for more details.\n\nAccount Locking\n---------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.2\n----------------------------\nAccount locking permits privileged administrators to lock/unlock user\naccounts. No new client connections will be permitted if an account is locked\n(existing connections are not affected). For example:\n\nALTER USER \'marijn\'@\'localhost\' ACCOUNT LOCK;\n\nSee Account Locking for more details.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.4.7 and MariaDB 10.5.8, the lock_option and password_option\nclauses can occur in either order.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/alter-user/') WHERE help_topic_id = 106; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (107,10,'DROP USER','Syntax\n------\n\nDROP USER [IF EXISTS] user_name [, user_name] ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe DROP USER statement removes one or more MariaDB accounts. It removes\nprivilege rows for the account from all grant tables. To use this statement,\nyou must have the global CREATE USER privilege or the DELETE privilege for the\nmysql database. Each account is named using the same format as for the CREATE\nUSER statement; for example, \'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\'. If you specify only the\nuser name part of the account name, a host name part of \'%\' is used. For\nadditional information about specifying account names, see CREATE USER.\n\nNote that, if you specify an account that is currently connected, it will not\nbe deleted until the connection is closed. The connection will not be\nautomatically closed.\n\nIf any of the specified user accounts do not exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000)\nresults. If an error occurs, DROP USER will still drop the accounts that do\nnot result in an error. Only one error is produced for all users which have\nnot been dropped:\n\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation DROP USER failed for \'u1\'@\'%\',\'u2\'@\'%\'\n\nFailed CREATE or DROP operations, for both users and roles, produce the same\nerror code.\n\nIF EXISTS\n---------\n\nIf the IF EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a note instead of an\nerror if the user does not exist.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nDROP USER bob;\n\nDROP USER foo2@localhost,foo2@\'127.%\';\n\nIF EXISTS:\n\nDROP USER bob;\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation DROP USER failed for \'bob\'@\'%\'\n\nDROP USER IF EXISTS bob;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)\n\nSHOW WARNINGS;\n+-------+------+---------------------------------------------+\n| Level | Code | Message |\n+-------+------+---------------------------------------------+\n| Note | 1974 | Can\'t drop user \'bob\'@\'%\'; it doesn\'t exist |\n+-------+------+---------------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/drop-user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/drop-user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (108,10,'GRANT','Syntax\n------\n\nGRANT\n priv_type [(column_list)]\n [, priv_type [(column_list)]] ...\n ON [object_type] priv_level\n TO user_specification [ user_options ...]\n\nuser_specification:\n username [authentication_option]\n | PUBLIC\nauthentication_option:\n IDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n | IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n | IDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_rule [OR authentication_rule ...]\n\nauthentication_rule:\n authentication_plugin\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} \'authentication_string\'\n | authentication_plugin {USING|AS} PASSWORD(\'password\')\n\nGRANT PROXY ON username\n TO user_specification [, user_specification ...]\n [WITH GRANT OPTION]\n\nGRANT rolename TO grantee [, grantee ...]\n [WITH ADMIN OPTION]\n\ngrantee:\n rolename\n username [authentication_option]\n\nuser_options:\n [REQUIRE {NONE | tls_option [[AND] tls_option] ...}]\n [WITH with_option [with_option] ...]\n\nobject_type:\n TABLE\n | FUNCTION\n | PROCEDURE\n | PACKAGE\n\npriv_level:\n *\n | *.*\n | db_name.*\n | db_name.tbl_name\n | tbl_name\n | db_name.routine_name\n\nwith_option:\n GRANT OPTION\n | resource_option\n\nresource_option:\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR count\n | MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS count\n | MAX_STATEMENT_TIME time\n\ntls_option:\n SSL\n | X509\n | CIPHER \'cipher\'\n | ISSUER \'issuer\'\n | SUBJECT \'subject\'\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe GRANT statement allows you to grant privileges or roles to accounts. To\nuse GRANT, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and you must have the\nprivileges that you are granting.\n\nUse the REVOKE statement to revoke privileges granted with the GRANT statement.\n\nUse the SHOW GRANTS statement to determine what privileges an account has.\n\nAccount Names\n-------------\n\nFor GRANT statements, account names are specified as the username argument in\nthe same way as they are for CREATE USER statements. See account names from\nthe CREATE USER page for details on how account names are specified.\n\nImplicit Account Creation\n-------------------------\n\nThe GRANT statement also allows you to implicitly create accounts in some\ncases.\n\nIf the account does not yet exist, then GRANT can implicitly create it. To\nimplicitly create an account with GRANT, a user is required to have the same\nprivileges that would be required to explicitly create the account with the\nCREATE USER statement.\n\nIf the NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER SQL_MODE is set, then accounts can only be created\nif authentication information is specified, or with a CREATE USER statement.\nIf no authentication information is provided, GRANT will produce an error when\nthe specified account does not exist, for example:\n\nshow variables like \'%sql_mode%\' ;\n+---------------+--------------------------------------------+\n| Variable_name | Value |\n+---------------+--------------------------------------------+\n| sql_mode | NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION |\n+---------------+--------------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'user123\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED BY \'\';\nERROR 1133 (28000): Can\'t find any matching row in the user table\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'user123\'@\'%\' \n IDENTIFIED VIA PAM using \'mariadb\' require ssl ;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)\n\nselect host, user from mysql.user where user=\'user123\' ;\n\n+------+----------+\n| host | user |\n+------+----------+\n| % | user123 |\n+------+----------+\n\nPrivilege Levels\n----------------\n\nPrivileges can be set globally, for an entire database, for a table or\nroutine, or for individual columns in a table. Certain privileges can only be\nset at certain levels.\n\n* Global privileges priv_type are granted using *.* for\npriv_level. Global privileges include privileges to administer the database\nand manage user accounts, as well as privileges for all tables, functions, and\nprocedures. Global privileges are stored in the mysql.user table prior to\nMariaDB 10.4, and in mysql.global_priv table afterwards.\n* Database privileges priv_type are granted using db_name.*\nfor priv_level, or using just * to use default database. Database\nprivileges include privileges to create tables and functions, as well as\nprivileges for all tables, functions, and procedures in the database. Database\nprivileges are stored in the mysql.db table.\n* Table privileges priv_type are granted using db_name.tbl_name\nfor priv_level, or using just tbl_name to specify a table in the default\ndatabase. The TABLE keyword is optional. Table privileges include the\nability to select and change data in the table. Certain table privileges can\nbe granted for individual columns.\n* Column privileges priv_type are granted by specifying a table for\npriv_level and providing a column list after the privilege type. They allow\nyou to control exactly which columns in a table users can select and change.\n* Function privileges priv_type are granted using FUNCTION db_name.routine_name\nfor priv_level, or using just FUNCTION routine_name to specify a function\nin the default database.\n* Procedure privileges priv_type are granted using PROCEDURE\ndb_name.routine_name\nfor priv_level, or using just PROCEDURE routine_name to specify a procedure\nin the default database.\n\nThe USAGE Privilege\n-------------------\n\nThe USAGE privilege grants no real privileges. The SHOW GRANTS statement will\nshow a global USAGE privilege for a newly-created user. You can use USAGE with\nthe GRANT statement to change options like GRANT OPTION and\nMAX_USER_CONNECTIONS without changing any account privileges.\n\nThe ALL PRIVILEGES Privilege\n----------------------------\n\nThe ALL PRIVILEGES privilege grants all available privileges. Granting all\nprivileges only affects the given privilege level. For example, granting all\nprivileges on a table does not grant any privileges on the database or\nglobally.\n\nUsing ALL PRIVILEGES does not grant the special GRANT OPTION privilege.\n\nYou can use ALL instead of ALL PRIVILEGES.\n\nThe GRANT OPTION Privilege\n--------------------------\n\nUse the WITH GRANT OPTION clause to give users the ability to grant privileges\nto other users at the given privilege level. Users with the GRANT OPTION\nprivilege can only grant privileges they have. They cannot grant privileges at\na higher privilege level than they have the GRANT OPTION privilege.\n\nThe GRANT OPTION privilege cannot be set for individual columns. If you use\nWITH GRANT OPTION when specifying column privileges, the GRANT OPTION\nprivilege will be granted for the entire table.\n\nUsing the WITH GRANT OPTION clause is equivalent to listing GRANT OPTION as a\nprivilege.\n\nGlobal Privileges\n-----------------\n\nThe following table lists the privileges that can be granted globally. You can\nalso grant all database, table, and function privileges globally. When granted\nglobally, these privileges apply to all databases, tables, or functions,\nincluding those created later.\n\nTo set a global privilege, use *.* for priv_level.\n\nBINLOG ADMIN\n------------\n\nEnables administration of the binary log, including the PURGE BINARY LOGS\nstatement and setting the system variables:\n\n* binlog_annotate_row_events\n* binlog_cache_size\n* binlog_commit_wait_count\n* binlog_commit_wait_usec\n* binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates\n* binlog_expire_logs_seconds\n* binlog_file_cache_size\n* binlog_format\n* binlog_row_image\n* binlog_row_metadata\n* binlog_stmt_cache_size\n* expire_logs_days\n* log_bin_compress\n* log_bin_compress_min_len\n* log_bin_trust_function_creators\n* max_binlog_cache_size\n* max_binlog_size\n* max_binlog_stmt_cache_size\n* sql_log_bin and\n* sync_binlog.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nBINLOG MONITOR\n--------------\n\nNew name for REPLICATION CLIENT from MariaDB 10.5.2, (REPLICATION CLIENT still\nsupported as an alias for compatibility purposes). Permits running SHOW\ncommands related to the binary log, in particular the SHOW BINLOG STATUS and\nSHOW BINARY LOGS statements. Unlike REPLICATION CLIENT prior to MariaDB 10.5,\nSHOW REPLICA STATUS isn\'t included in this privilege, and REPLICA MONITOR is\nrequired.\n\nBINLOG REPLAY\n-------------\n\nEnables replaying the binary log with the BINLOG statement (generated by\nmariadb-binlog), executing SET timestamp when secure_timestamp is set to\nreplication, and setting the session values of system variables usually\nincluded in BINLOG output, in particular:\n\n* gtid_domain_id\n* gtid_seq_no\n* pseudo_thread_id\n* server_id.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2\n\nCONNECTION ADMIN\n----------------\n\nEnables administering connection resource limit options. This includes\nignoring the limits specified by:\n\n* max_connections\n* max_user_connections and\n* max_password_errors.\n\nThe statements specified in init_connect are not executed, killing connections\nand queries owned by other users is permitted. The following\nconnection-related system variables can be changed:\n\n* connect_timeout\n* disconnect_on_expired_password\n* extra_max_connections\n* init_connect\n* max_connections\n* max_connect_errors\n* max_password_errors\n* proxy_protocol_networks\n* secure_auth\n* slow_launch_time\n* thread_pool_exact_stats\n* thread_pool_dedicated_listener\n* thread_pool_idle_timeout\n* thread_pool_max_threads\n* thread_pool_min_threads\n* thread_pool_oversubscribe\n* thread_pool_prio_kickup_timer\n* thread_pool_priority\n* thread_pool_size, and\n* thread_pool_stall_limit.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nCREATE USER\n-----------\n\nCreate a user using the CREATE USER statement, or implicitly create a user\nwith the GRANT statement.\n\nFEDERATED ADMIN\n---------------\n\nExecute CREATE SERVER, ALTER SERVER, and DROP SERVER statements. Added in\nMariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nFILE\n----\n\nRead and write files on the server, using statements like LOAD DATA INFILE or\nfunctions like LOAD_FILE(). Also needed to create CONNECT outward tables.\nMariaDB server must have the permissions to access those files.\n\nGRANT OPTION\n------------\n\nGrant global privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.\n\nPROCESS\n-------\n\nShow information about the active processes, for example via SHOW PROCESSLIST\nor mysqladmin processlist. If you have the PROCESS privilege, you can see all\nthreads. Otherwise, you can see only your own threads (that is, threads\nassociated with the MariaDB account that you are using).\n\nREAD_ONLY ADMIN\n---------------\n\nUser can set the read_only system variable and allows the user to perform\nwrite operations, even when the read_only option is active. Added in MariaDB\n10.5.2.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.11.0, the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege has been removed from\nSUPER. The benefit of this is that one can remove the READ_ONLY ADMIN\nprivilege from all users and ensure that no one can make any changes on any\nnon-temporary tables. This is useful on replicas when one wants to ensure that\nthe replica is kept identical to the primary.\n\nRELOAD\n------\n\nExecute FLUSH statements or equivalent mariadb-admin/mysqladmin commands.\n\nREPLICATION CLIENT\n------------------\n\nExecute SHOW MASTER STATUS and SHOW BINARY LOGS informative statements.\nRenamed to BINLOG MONITOR in MariaDB 10.5.2 (but still supported as an alias\nfor compatibility reasons). SHOW SLAVE STATUS was part of REPLICATION CLIENT\nprior to MariaDB 10.5.\n\nREPLICATION MASTER ADMIN\n------------------------\n\nPermits administration of primary servers, including the SHOW REPLICA HOSTS\nstatement, and setting the gtid_binlog_state, gtid_domain_id,\nmaster_verify_checksum and server_id system variables. Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nREPLICA MONITOR\n---------------\n\nPermit SHOW REPLICA STATUS and SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS. From MariaDB 10.5.9.\n\nWhen a user would upgrade from an older major release to a MariaDB 10.5 minor\nrelease prior to MariaDB 10.5.9, certain user accounts would lose\ncapabilities. For example, a user account that had the REPLICATION CLIENT\nprivilege in older major releases could run SHOW REPLICA STATUS, but after\nupgrading to a MariaDB 10.5 minor release prior to MariaDB 10.5.9, they could\nno longer run SHOW REPLICA STATUS, because that statement was changed to\nrequire the REPLICATION REPLICA ADMIN privilege.\n\nThis issue is fixed in MariaDB 10.5.9 with this new privilege, which now\ngrants the user the ability to execute SHOW [ALL] (SLAVE | REPLICA) STATUS.\n\nWhen a database is upgraded from an older major release to MariaDB Server\n10.5.9 or later, any user accounts with the REPLICATION CLIENT or REPLICATION\nSLAVE privileges will automatically be granted the new REPLICA MONITOR\nprivilege. The privilege fix occurs when the server is started up, not when\nmariadb-upgrade is performed.\n\nHowever, when a database is upgraded from an early 10.5 minor release to\n10.5.9 and later, the user will have to fix any user account privileges\nmanually.\n\nREPLICATION REPLICA\n-------------------\n\nSynonym for REPLICATION SLAVE. From MariaDB 10.5.1.\n\nREPLICATION SLAVE\n-----------------\n\nAccounts used by replica servers on the primary need this privilege. This is\nneeded to get the updates made on the master. From MariaDB 10.5.1, REPLICATION\nREPLICA is an alias for REPLICATION SLAVE.\n\nREPLICATION SLAVE ADMIN\n-----------------------\n\nPermits administering replica servers, including START REPLICA/SLAVE, STOP\nREPLICA/SLAVE, CHANGE MASTER, SHOW REPLICA/SLAVE STATUS, SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS\nstatements, replaying the binary log with the BINLOG statement (generated by\nmariadb-binlog), and setting the system variables:\n\n* gtid_cleanup_batch_size\n* gtid_ignore_duplicates\n* gtid_pos_auto_engines\n* gtid_slave_pos\n* gtid_strict_mode\n* init_slave\n* read_binlog_speed_limit\n* relay_log_purge\n* relay_log_recovery\n* replicate_do_db\n* replicate_do_table\n* replicate_events_marked_for_skip\n* replicate_ignore_db\n* replicate_ignore_table\n* replicate_wild_do_table\n* replicate_wild_ignore_table\n* slave_compressed_protocol\n* slave_ddl_exec_mode\n* slave_domain_parallel_threads\n* slave_exec_mode\n* slave_max_allowed_packet\n* slave_net_timeout\n* slave_parallel_max_queued\n* slave_parallel_mode\n* slave_parallel_threads\n* slave_parallel_workers\n* slave_run_triggers_for_rbr\n* slave_sql_verify_checksum\n* slave_transaction_retry_interval\n* slave_type_conversions\n* sync_master_info\n* sync_relay_log, and\n* sync_relay_log_info.\n\nAdded in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nSET USER\n--------\n','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/grant/'); update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\nEnables setting the DEFINER when creating triggers, views, stored functions\nand stored procedures. Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.\n\nSHOW DATABASES\n--------------\n\nList all databases using the SHOW DATABASES statement. Without the SHOW\nDATABASES privilege, you can still issue the SHOW DATABASES statement, but it\nwill only list databases containing tables on which you have privileges.\n\nSHUTDOWN\n--------\n\nShut down the server using SHUTDOWN or the mysqladmin shutdown command.\n\nSUPER\n-----\n\nExecute superuser statements: CHANGE MASTER TO, KILL (users who do not have\nthis privilege can only KILL their own threads), PURGE LOGS, SET global system\nvariables, or the mysqladmin debug command. Also, this permission allows the\nuser to write data even if the read_only startup option is set, enable or\ndisable logging, enable or disable replication on replica, specify a DEFINER\nfor statements that support that clause, connect once reaching the\nMAX_CONNECTIONS. If a statement has been specified for the init-connect mysqld\noption, that command will not be executed when a user with SUPER privileges\nconnects to the server.\n\nThe SUPER privilege has been split into multiple smaller privileges from\nMariaDB 10.5.2 to allow for more fine-grained privileges.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.11.0, the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege has been removed from\nSUPER. The benefit of this is that one can remove the READ_ONLY ADMIN\nprivilege from all users and ensure that no one can make any changes on any\nnon-temporary tables. This is useful on replicas when one wants to ensure that\nthe replica is kept identical to the primary.\n\nDatabase Privileges\n-------------------\n\nThe following table lists the privileges that can be granted at the database\nlevel. You can also grant all table and function privileges at the database\nlevel. Table and function privileges on a database apply to all tables or\nfunctions in that database, including those created later.\n\nTo set a privilege for a database, specify the database using db_name.* for\npriv_level, or just use * to specify the default database.\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE | Create a database using the CREATE |\n| | DATABASE statement, when the privilege |\n| | is granted for a database. You can |\n| | grant the CREATE privilege on |\n| | databases that do not yet exist. This |\n| | also grants the CREATE privilege on |\n| | all tables in the database. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE ROUTINE | Create Stored Programs using the |\n| | CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION |\n| | statements. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES | Create temporary tables with the |\n| | CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statement. This |\n| | privilege enable writing and dropping |\n| | those temporary tables |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DROP | Drop a database using the DROP |\n| | DATABASE statement, when the privilege |\n| | is granted for a database. This also |\n| | grants the DROP privilege on all |\n| | tables in the database. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| EVENT | Create, drop and alter EVENTs. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant database privileges. You can |\n| | only grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| LOCK TABLES | Acquire explicit locks using the LOCK |\n| | TABLES statement; you also need to |\n| | have the SELECT privilege on a table, |\n| | in order to lock it. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nTable Privileges\n----------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| ALTER | Change the structure of an existing |\n| | table using the ALTER TABLE statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE | Create a table using the CREATE TABLE |\n| | statement. You can grant the CREATE |\n| | privilege on tables that do not yet |\n| | exist. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| CREATE VIEW | Create a view using the CREATE_VIEW |\n| | statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DELETE | Remove rows from a table using the |\n| | DELETE statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DELETE HISTORY | Remove historical rows from a table |\n| | using the DELETE HISTORY statement. |\n| | Displays as DELETE VERSIONING ROWS |\n| | when running SHOW GRANTS until MariaDB |\n| | 10.3.15 and until MariaDB 10.4.5 |\n| | (MDEV-17655), or when running SHOW |\n| | PRIVILEGES until MariaDB 10.5.2, |\n| | MariaDB 10.4.13 and MariaDB 10.3.23 |\n| | (MDEV-20382). From MariaDB 10.3.4. |\n| | From MariaDB 10.3.5, if a user has the |\n| | SUPER privilege but not this |\n| | privilege, running mysql_upgrade will |\n| | grant this privilege as well. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| DROP | Drop a table using the DROP TABLE |\n| | statement or a view using the DROP |\n| | VIEW statement. Also required to |\n| | execute the TRUNCATE TABLE statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant table privileges. You can only |\n| | grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| INDEX | Create an index on a table using the |\n| | CREATE INDEX statement. Without the |\n| | INDEX privilege, you can still create |\n| | indexes when creating a table using |\n| | the CREATE TABLE statement if the you |\n| | have the CREATE privilege, and you can |\n| | create indexes using the ALTER TABLE |\n| | statement if you have the ALTER |\n| | privilege. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| INSERT | Add rows to a table using the INSERT |\n| | statement. The INSERT privilege can |\n| | also be set on individual columns; see |\n| | Column Privileges below for details. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| REFERENCES | Unused. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| SELECT | Read data from a table using the |\n| | SELECT statement. The SELECT privilege |\n| | can also be set on individual columns; |\n| | see Column Privileges below for |\n| | details. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| SHOW VIEW | Show the CREATE VIEW statement to |\n| | create a view using the SHOW CREATE |\n| | VIEW statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| TRIGGER | Execute triggers associated to tables |\n| | you update, execute the CREATE TRIGGER |\n| | and DROP TRIGGER statements. You will |\n| | still be able to see triggers. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| UPDATE | Update existing rows in a table using |\n| | the UPDATE statement. UPDATE |\n| | statements usually include a WHERE |\n| | clause to update only certain rows. |\n| | You must have SELECT privileges on the |\n| | table or the appropriate columns for |\n| | the WHERE clause. The UPDATE privilege |\n| | can also be set on individual columns; |\n| | see Column Privileges below for |\n| | details. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nColumn Privileges\n-----------------\n\nSome table privileges can be set for individual columns of a table. To use\ncolumn privileges, specify the table explicitly and provide a list of column\nnames after the privilege type. For example, the following statement would\nallow the user to read the names and positions of employees, but not other\ninformation from the same table, such as salaries.\n\nGRANT SELECT (name, position) on Employee to \'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\';\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| INSERT (column_list) | Add rows specifying values in columns |\n| | using the INSERT statement. If you |\n| | only have column-level INSERT |\n| | privileges, you must specify the |\n| | columns you are setting in the INSERT |\n| | statement. All other columns will be |\n| | set to their default values, or NULL. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| REFERENCES (column_list) | Unused. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| SELECT (column_list) | Read values in columns using the |\n| | SELECT statement. You cannot access or |\n| | query any columns for which you do not |\n| | have SELECT privileges, including in |\n| | WHERE, ON, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY |\n| | clauses. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| UPDATE (column_list) | Update values in columns of existing |\n| | rows using the UPDATE statement. |\n| | UPDATE statements usually include a |\n| | WHERE clause to update only certain |\n| | rows. You must have SELECT privileges |\n| | on the table or the appropriate |\n| | columns for the WHERE clause. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nFunction Privileges\n-------------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+') WHERE help_topic_id = 108; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n| ALTER ROUTINE | Change the characteristics of a stored |\n| | function using the ALTER FUNCTION |\n| | statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| EXECUTE | Use a stored function. You need SELECT |\n| | privileges for any tables or columns |\n| | accessed by the function. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant function privileges. You can |\n| | only grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nProcedure Privileges\n--------------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| ALTER ROUTINE | Change the characteristics of a stored |\n| | procedure using the ALTER PROCEDURE |\n| | statement. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| EXECUTE | Execute a stored procedure using the |\n| | CALL statement. The privilege to call |\n| | a procedure may allow you to perform |\n| | actions you wouldn\'t otherwise be able |\n| | to do, such as insert rows into a |\n| | table. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT OPTION | Grant procedure privileges. You can |\n| | only grant privileges that you have. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT EXECUTE ON PROCEDURE mysql.create_db TO maintainer;\n\nProxy Privileges\n----------------\n\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| Privilege | Description |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n| PROXY | Permits one user to be a proxy for |\n| | another. |\n+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+\n\nThe PROXY privilege allows one user to proxy as another user, which means\ntheir privileges change to that of the proxy user, and the CURRENT_USER()\nfunction returns the user name of the proxy user.\n\nThe PROXY privilege only works with authentication plugins that support it.\nThe default mysql_native_password authentication plugin does not support proxy\nusers.\n\nThe pam authentication plugin is the only plugin included with MariaDB that\ncurrently supports proxy users. The PROXY privilege is commonly used with the\npam authentication plugin to enable user and group mapping with PAM.\n\nFor example, to grant the PROXY privilege to an anonymous account that\nauthenticates with the pam authentication plugin, you could execute the\nfollowing:\n\nCREATE USER \'dba\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED BY \'strongpassword\';\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'dba\'@\'%\' ;\n\nCREATE USER \'\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'%\' TO \'\'@\'%\';\n\nA user account can only grant the PROXY privilege for a specific user account\nif the granter also has the PROXY privilege for that specific user account,\nand if that privilege is defined WITH GRANT OPTION. For example, the following\nexample fails because the granter does not have the PROXY privilege for that\nspecific user account at all:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\nERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user \'alice\'@\'localhost\'\n\nAnd the following example fails because the granter does have the PROXY\nprivilege for that specific user account, but it is not defined WITH GRANT\nOPTION:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' |\n| GRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\nERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user \'alice\'@\'localhost\'\n\nBut the following example succeeds because the granter does have the PROXY\nprivilege for that specific user account, and it is defined WITH GRANT OPTION:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' WITH GRANT OPTION |\n| GRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\n\nA user account can grant the PROXY privilege for any other user account if the\ngranter has the PROXY privilege for the \'\'@\'%\' anonymous user account, like\nthis:\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'\'@\'%\' TO \'dba\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\n\nFor example, the following example succeeds because the user can grant the\nPROXY privilege for any other user account:\n\nSELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |\n+-----------------+-----------------+\n\nSHOW GRANTS;\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| Grants for alice@localhost \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD\n\'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19\' WITH GRANT OPTION |\n| GRANT PROXY ON \'\'@\'%\' TO \'alice\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION \n |\n+------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n----------------------------------------------------------+\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'app1_dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'bob\'@\'localhost\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.004 sec)\n\nGRANT PROXY ON \'app2_dba\'@\'localhost\' TO \'carol\'@\'localhost\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.004 sec)\n\nThe default root user accounts created by mysql_install_db have this\nprivilege. For example:\n\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO \'root\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\nGRANT PROXY ON \'\'@\'%\' TO \'root\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\n\nThis allows the default root user accounts to grant the PROXY privilege for\nany other user account, and it also allows the default root user accounts to\ngrant others the privilege to do the same.\n\nAuthentication Options\n----------------------\n\nThe authentication options for the GRANT statement are the same as those for\nthe CREATE USER statement.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY \'password\'\n------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a\npassword. The password should be specified in plain text. It will be hashed by\nthe PASSWORD function prior to being stored.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can create the user with:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \'mariadb\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nIf the user account already exists and if you provide the IDENTIFIED BY\nclause, then the user\'s password will be changed. You must have the privileges\nneeded for the SET PASSWORD statement to change a user\'s password with GRANT.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD \'password_hash\'\n--------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause can be used to provide an account\nwith a password that has already been hashed. The password should be specified\nas a hash that was provided by the PASSWORD function. It will be stored as-is.\n\nFor example, if our password is mariadb, then we can find the hash with:\n\nSELECT PASSWORD(\'mariadb\');\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| PASSWORD(\'mariadb\') |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |\n+-------------------------------------------+\n1 row in set (0.00 sec)\n\nAnd then we can create a user with the hash:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED BY \n PASSWORD \'*54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980\';\n\nIf you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will\nbe able to connect without a password. A blank password is not a wildcard to\nmatch any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no\npassword is set.\n\nIf the user account already exists and if you provide the IDENTIFIED BY\nclause, then the user\'s password will be changed. You must have the privileges\nneeded for the SET PASSWORD statement to change a user\'s password with GRANT.\n\nThe only authentication plugins that this clause supports are\nmysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.\n\nIDENTIFIED {VIA|WITH} authentication_plugin\n-------------------------------------------\n\nThe optional IDENTIFIED VIA authentication_plugin allows you to specify that\nthe account should be authenticated by a specific authentication plugin. The\nplugin name must be an active authentication plugin as per SHOW PLUGINS. If it\ndoesn\'t show up in that output, then you will need to install it with INSTALL\nPLUGIN or INSTALL SONAME.\n\nFor example, this could be used with the PAM authentication plugin:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam;\n\nSome authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a\nUSING or AS keyword. For example, the PAM authentication plugin accepts a\nservice name:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO foo2@test IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING \'mariadb\';\n\nThe exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific\nauthentication plugin.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.0\n----------------------------\nThe USING or AS keyword can also be used to provide a plain-text password to a\nplugin if it\'s provided as an argument to the PASSWORD() function. This is\nonly valid for authentication plugins that have implemented a hook for the\nPASSWORD() function. For example, the ed25519 authentication plugin supports\nthis:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 \n USING PASSWORD(\'secret\');\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nOne can specify many authentication plugins, they all work as alternatives\nways of authenticating a user:\n\nCREATE USER safe@\'%\' IDENTIFIED VIA ed25519 \n USING PASSWORD(\'secret\') OR unix_socket;\n\nBy default, when you create a user without specifying an authentication\nplugin, MariaDB uses the mysql_native_password plugin.\n\nResource Limit Options\n----------------------\n\nIt is possible to set per-account limits for certain server resources. The\nfollowing table shows the values that can be set per account:\n\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| Limit Type | Decription |') WHERE help_topic_id = 108; update help_topic set description = CONCAT(description, '\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR | Number of statements that the |\n| | account can issue per hour |\n| | (including updates) |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR | Number of updates (not queries) |\n| | that the account can issue per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR | Number of connections that the |\n| | account can start per hour |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS | Number of simultaneous connections |\n| | that can be accepted from the same |\n| | account; if it is 0, |\n| | max_connections will be used |\n| | instead; if max_connections is 0, |\n| | there is no limit for this |\n| | account\'s simultaneous connections. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n| MAX_STATEMENT_TIME | Timeout, in seconds, for statements |\n| | executed by the user. See also |\n| | Aborting Statements that Exceed a |\n| | Certain Time to Execute. |\n+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+\n\nIf any of these limits are set to 0, then there is no limit for that resource\nfor that user.\n\nTo set resource limits for an account, if you do not want to change that\naccount\'s privileges, you can issue a GRANT statement with the USAGE\nprivilege, which has no meaning. The statement can name some or all limit\ntypes, in any order.\n\nHere is an example showing how to set resource limits:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'someone\'@\'localhost\' WITH\n MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0\n MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 200;\n\nThe resources are tracked per account, which means \'user\'@\'server\'; not per\nuser name or per connection.\n\nThe count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH\nPRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.\n\nUsers with the CONNECTION ADMIN privilege (in MariaDB 10.5.2 and later) or the\nSUPER privilege are not restricted by max_user_connections, max_connections,\nor max_password_errors.\n\nPer account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql\ndatabase. Columns used for resources limits are named max_questions,\nmax_updates, max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR), and\nmax_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS).\n\nTLS Options\n-----------\n\nBy default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without\nencrypting it. This is generally acceptable when the server and client run on\nthe same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.\nHowever, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or\nthey are in a high-risk network, the lack of encryption does introduce\nsecurity concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the\ntraffic as it is sent over the network between them.\n\nTo mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit\nbetween the server and clients using the Transport Layer Security (TLS)\nprotocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly\nspeaking the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the\nprotocol is now considered insecure. The documentation still uses the term SSL\noften and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status\nvariables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its\nsecure successors.\n\nSee Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine\nwhether your MariaDB server has TLS support.\n\nYou can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For\ninstance, you might use this with user accounts that require access to\nsensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These\nrestrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER\nUSER, or GRANT statements. The following options are available:\n\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| Option | Description |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE NONE | TLS is not required for this account, but can |\n| | still be used. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SSL | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. This option cannot |\n| | be combined with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE X509 | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. This option implies |\n| | REQUIRE SSL. This option cannot be combined |\n| | with other TLS options. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE ISSUER \'issuer\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate |\n| | Authority must be the one specified via the |\n| | string issuer. This option implies REQUIRE |\n| | X509. This option can be combined with the |\n| | SUBJECT, and CIPHER options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE SUBJECT \'subject\' | The account must use TLS and must have a |\n| | valid X509 certificate. Also, the |\n| | certificate\'s Subject must be the one |\n| | specified via the string subject. This option |\n| | implies REQUIRE X509. This option can be |\n| | combined with the ISSUER, and CIPHER options |\n| | in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n| REQUIRE CIPHER \'cipher\' | The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 |\n| | certificate is required. Also, the encryption |\n| | used for the connection must use a specific |\n| | cipher method specified in the string cipher. |\n| | This option implies REQUIRE SSL. This option |\n| | can be combined with the ISSUER, and SUBJECT |\n| | options in any order. |\n+---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+\n\nThe REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the\nAND keyword can be used to separate individual options, but it is not required.\n\nFor example, you can create a user account that requires these TLS options\nwith the following:\n\nGRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'alice\'@\'%\'\n REQUIRE SUBJECT \'/CN=alice/O=My Dom, Inc./C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland\'\n AND ISSUER \'/C=FI/ST=Somewhere/L=City/ O=Some Company/CN=Peter\nParker/emailAddress=p.parker@marvel.com\'\n AND CIPHER \'SHA-DES-CBC3-EDH-RSA\';\n\nIf any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client\nwho tries to connect with that user account will have to be configured to\nconnect with TLS.\n\nSee Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to\nenable TLS on the client and server.\n\nRoles\n-----\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nGRANT role TO grantee [, grantee ... ]\n[ WITH ADMIN OPTION ]\n\ngrantee:\n rolename\n username [authentication_option]\n\nThe GRANT statement is also used to grant the use of a role to one or more\nusers or other roles. In order to be able to grant a role, the grantor doing\nso must have permission to do so (see WITH ADMIN in the CREATE ROLE article).\n\nSpecifying the WITH ADMIN OPTION permits the grantee to in turn grant the role\nto another.\n\nFor example, the following commands show how to grant the same role to a\ncouple different users.\n\nGRANT journalist TO hulda;\n\nGRANT journalist TO berengar WITH ADMIN OPTION;\n\nIf a user has been granted a role, they do not automatically obtain all\npermissions associated with that role. These permissions are only in use when\nthe user activates the role with the SET ROLE statement.\n\nTO PUBLIC\n---------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.11\n---------------------------\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nGRANT ON . TO PUBLIC;\nREVOKE ON . FROM PUBLIC;\n\nGRANT ... TO PUBLIC grants privileges to all users with access to the server.\nThe privileges also apply to users created after the privileges are granted.\nThis can be useful when one only wants to state once that all users need to\nhave a certain set of privileges.\n\nWhen running SHOW GRANTS, a user will also see all privileges inherited from\nPUBLIC. SHOW GRANTS FOR PUBLIC will only show TO PUBLIC grants.\n\nGrant Examples\n--------------\n\nGranting Root-like Privileges\n-----------------------------\n\nYou can create a user that has privileges similar to the default root accounts\nby executing the following:\n\nCREATE USER \'alexander\'@\'localhost\';\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to \'alexander\'@\'localhost\' WITH GRANT OPTION;\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/grant/') WHERE help_topic_id = 108; insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (109,10,'RENAME USER','Syntax\n------\n\nRENAME USER old_user TO new_user\n [, old_user TO new_user] ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe RENAME USER statement renames existing MariaDB accounts. To use it, you\nmust have the global CREATE USER privilege or the UPDATE privilege for the\nmysql database. Each account is named using the same format as for the CREATE\nUSER statement; for example, \'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\'. If you specify only the\nuser name part of the account name, a host name part of \'%\' is used.\n\nIf any of the old user accounts do not exist or any of the new user accounts\nalready exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results. If an error occurs, RENAME USER\nwill still rename the accounts that do not result in an error.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE USER \'donald\', \'mickey\';\nRENAME USER \'donald\' TO \'duck\'@\'localhost\', \'mickey\' TO \'mouse\'@\'localhost\';\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rename-user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rename-user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (110,10,'REVOKE','Privileges\n----------\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nREVOKE \n priv_type [(column_list)]\n [, priv_type [(column_list)]] ...\n ON [object_type] priv_level\n FROM user [, user] ...\n\nREVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION\n FROM user [, user] ...\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe REVOKE statement enables system administrators to revoke privileges (or\nroles - see section below) from MariaDB accounts. Each account is named using\nthe same format as for the GRANT statement; for example,\n\'jeffrey\'@\'localhost\'. If you specify only the user name part of the account\nname, a host name part of \'%\' is used. For details on the levels at which\nprivileges exist, the allowable priv_type and priv_level values, and the\nsyntax for specifying users and passwords, see GRANT.\n\nTo use the first REVOKE syntax, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and\nyou must have the privileges that you are revoking.\n\nTo revoke all privileges, use the second syntax, which drops all global,\ndatabase, table, column, and routine privileges for the named user or users:\n\nREVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM user [, user] ...\n\nTo use this REVOKE syntax, you must have the global CREATE USER privilege or\nthe UPDATE privilege for the mysql database. See GRANT.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nREVOKE SUPER ON *.* FROM \'alexander\'@\'localhost\';\n\nRoles\n-----\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nREVOKE role [, role ...]\n FROM grantee [, grantee2 ... ]\n\nREVOKE ADMIN OPTION FOR role FROM grantee [, grantee2]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nREVOKE is also used to remove a role from a user or another role that it\'s\npreviously been assigned to. If a role has previously been set as a default\nrole, REVOKE does not remove the record of the default role from the\nmysql.user table. If the role is subsequently granted again, it will again be\nthe user\'s default. Use SET DEFAULT ROLE NONE to explicitly remove this.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.1.13, the REVOKE role statement was not permitted in\nprepared statements.\n\nExample\n-------\n\nREVOKE journalist FROM hulda\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/revoke/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/revoke/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (111,10,'SET PASSWORD','Syntax\n------\n\nSET PASSWORD [FOR user] =\n {\n PASSWORD(\'some password\')\n | OLD_PASSWORD(\'some password\')\n | \'encrypted password\'\n }\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe SET PASSWORD statement assigns a password to an existing MariaDB user\naccount.\n\nIf the password is specified using the PASSWORD() or OLD_PASSWORD() function,\nthe literal text of the password should be given. If the password is specified\nwithout using either function, the password should be the already-encrypted\npassword value as returned by PASSWORD().\n\nOLD_PASSWORD() should only be used if your MariaDB/MySQL clients are very old\n(< 4.0.0).\n\nWith no FOR clause, this statement sets the password for the current user. Any\nclient that has connected to the server using a non-anonymous account can\nchange the password for that account.\n\nWith a FOR clause, this statement sets the password for a specific account on\nthe current server host. Only clients that have the UPDATE privilege for the\nmysql database can do this. The user value should be given in\nuser_name@host_name format, where user_name and host_name are exactly as they\nare listed in the User and Host columns of the mysql.user table (or view in\nMariaDB-10.4 onwards) entry.\n\nThe argument to PASSWORD() and the password given to MariaDB clients can be of\narbitrary length.\n\nAuthentication Plugin Support\n-----------------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, SET PASSWORD (with or without PASSWORD()) works for\naccounts authenticated via any authentication plugin that supports passwords\nstored in the mysql.global_priv table.\n\nThe ed25519, mysql_native_password, and mysql_old_password authentication\nplugins store passwords in the mysql.global_priv table.\n\nIf you run SET PASSWORD on an account that authenticates with one of these\nauthentication plugins that stores passwords in the mysql.global_priv table,\nthen the PASSWORD() function is evaluated by the specific authentication\nplugin used by the account. The authentication plugin hashes the password with\na method that is compatible with that specific authentication plugin.\n\nThe unix_socket, named_pipe, gssapi, and pam authentication plugins do not\nstore passwords in the mysql.global_priv table. These authentication plugins\nrely on other methods to authenticate the user.\n\nIf you attempt to run SET PASSWORD on an account that authenticates with one\nof these authentication plugins that doesn\'t store a password in the\nmysql.global_priv table, then MariaDB Server will raise a warning like the\nfollowing:\n\nSET PASSWORD is ignored for users authenticating via unix_socket plugin\n\nSee Authentication from MariaDB 10.4 for an overview of authentication changes\nin MariaDB 10.4.\n\nMariaDB until 10.3\n------------------\nIn MariaDB 10.3 and before, SET PASSWORD (with or without PASSWORD()) only\nworks for accounts authenticated via mysql_native_password or\nmysql_old_password authentication plugins\n\nPasswordless User Accounts\n--------------------------\n\nUser accounts do not always require passwords to login.\n\nThe unix_socket , named_pipe and gssapi authentication plugins do not require\na password to authenticate the user.\n\nThe pam authentication plugin may or may not require a password to\nauthenticate the user, depending on the specific configuration.\n\nThe mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password authentication plugins\nrequire passwords for authentication, but the password can be blank. In that\ncase, no password is required.\n\nIf you provide a password while attempting to log into the server as an\naccount that doesn\'t require a password, then MariaDB server will simply\nignore the password.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nIn MariaDB 10.4 and later, a user account can be defined to use multiple\nauthentication plugins in a specific order of preference. This specific\nscenario may be more noticeable in these versions, since an account could be\nassociated with some authentication plugins that require a password, and some\nthat do not.\n\nExample\n-------\n\nFor example, if you had an entry with User and Host column values of \'bob\' and\n\'%.loc.gov\', you would write the statement like this:\n\nSET PASSWORD FOR \'bob\'@\'%.loc.gov\' = PASSWORD(\'newpass\');\n\nIf you want to delete a password for a user, you would do:\n\nSET PASSWORD FOR \'bob\'@localhost = PASSWORD(\"\");\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-password/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/set-password/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (112,10,'CREATE ROLE','Syntax\n------\n\nCREATE [OR REPLACE] ROLE [IF NOT EXISTS] role \n [WITH ADMIN\n {CURRENT_USER | CURRENT_ROLE | user | role}]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe CREATE ROLE statement creates one or more MariaDB roles. To use it, you\nmust have the global CREATE USER privilege or the INSERT privilege for the\nmysql database. For each account, CREATE ROLE creates a new row in the\nmysql.user table that has no privileges, and with the corresponding is_role\nfield set to Y. It also creates a record in the mysql.roles_mapping table.\n\nIf any of the specified roles already exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results. If an\nerror occurs, CREATE ROLE will still create the roles that do not result in an\nerror. The maximum length for a role is 128 characters. Role names can be\nquoted, as explained in the Identifier names page. Only one error is produced\nfor all roles which have not been created:\n\nERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE ROLE failed for \'a\',\'b\',\'c\'\n\nFailed CREATE or DROP operations, for both users and roles, produce the same\nerror code.\n\nPUBLIC and NONE are reserved, and cannot be used as role names. NONE is used\nto unset a role and PUBLIC has a special use in other systems, such as Oracle,\nso is reserved for compatibility purposes.\n\nFor valid identifiers to use as role names, see Identifier Names.\n\nWITH ADMIN\n----------\n\nThe optional WITH ADMIN clause determines whether the current user, the\ncurrent role or another user or role has use of the newly created role. If the\nclause is omitted, WITH ADMIN CURRENT_USER is treated as the default, which\nmeans that the current user will be able to GRANT this role to users.\n\nOR REPLACE\n----------\n\nIf the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it acts as a shortcut for:\n\nDROP ROLE IF EXISTS name;\nCREATE ROLE name ...;\n\nIF NOT EXISTS\n-------------\n\nWhen the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead\nof an error if the specified role already exists. Cannot be used together with\nthe OR REPLACE clause.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE ROLE journalist;\n\nCREATE ROLE developer WITH ADMIN lorinda@localhost;\n\nGranting the role to another user.

It assists larger\norganizations where, typically, a number of users would have the same\nprivileges, and, previously, the only way to change the privileges for a group\nof users was by changing each user\'s privileges individually.\n\nAlternatively, multiple external users could have been assigned the same user,\nand there would have been no way to see which actual user was responsible for\nwhich action.\n\nWith roles, managing this is easy. For example, there could be a number of\nusers assigned to a journalist role, with identical privileges. Changing the\nprivileges for all the journalists is a matter of simply changing the role\'s\nprivileges, while the individual user is still linked with any changes that\ntake place.\n\nRoles are created with the CREATE ROLE statement, and dropped with the DROP\nROLE statement. Roles are then assigned to a user with an extension to the\nGRANT statement, while privileges are assigned to a role in the regular way\nwith GRANT. Similarly, the REVOKE statement can be used to both revoke a role\nfrom a user, or revoke a privilege from a role.\n\nOnce a user has connected, he can obtain all privileges associated with a role\nby setting a role with the SET ROLE statement. The CURRENT_ROLE function\nreturns the currently set role for the session, if any.\n\nOnly roles granted directly to a user can be set, roles granted to other roles\ncannot. Instead the privileges granted to a role, which is, in turn, granted\nto another role (grantee), will be immediately available to any user who sets\nthis second grantee role.\n\nThe SET DEFAULT ROLE statement allows one to set a default role for a user. A\ndefault role is automatically enabled when a user connects (an implicit SET\nROLE statement is executed immediately after a connection is established).\n\nRoles were implemented as a GSoC 2013 project by Vicentiu Ciorbaru.\n\nSystem Tables\n-------------\n\nInformation about roles and who they\'ve been granted to can be found in the\nInformation Schema APPLICABLE_ROLES table as well as the mysql.ROLES_MAPPING\ntable.\n\nThe Information Schema ENABLED_ROLES table shows the enabled roles for the\ncurrent session.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCreating a role and granting a privilege:\n\nCREATE ROLE journalist;\n\nGRANT SHOW DATABASES ON *.* TO journalist;\n\nGRANT journalist to hulda;\n\nNote, that hulda has no SHOW DATABASES privilege, even though she was granted\nthe journalist role. She needs to set the role first:\n\nSHOW DATABASES;\n+--------------------+\n| Database |\n+--------------------+\n| information_schema |\n+--------------------+\n\nSELECT CURRENT_ROLE;\n+--------------+\n| CURRENT_ROLE |\n+--------------+\n| NULL |\n+--------------+\n\nSET ROLE journalist;\n\nSELECT CURRENT_ROLE;\n+--------------+\n| CURRENT_ROLE |\n+--------------+\n| journalist |\n+--------------+\n\nSHOW DATABASES;\n+--------------------+\n| Database |\n+--------------------+\n| ... |\n| information_schema |\n| mysql |\n| performance_schema |\n| test |\n| ... |\n+--------------------+\n\nSET ROLE NONE;\n\nRoles can be granted to roles:\n\nCREATE ROLE writer;\n\nGRANT SELECT ON data.* TO writer;\n\nGRANT writer TO journalist;\n\nBut one does not need to set a role granted to a role.

For example, this can be useful to slowly migrate users to the more\nsecure ed25519 authentication plugin over time, while allowing the old\nmysql_native_password authentication plugin as an alternative for the\ntransitional period.\n* The root@localhost user account created by mysql_install_db is created with\nthe ability to use two authentication plugins.\nFirst, it is configured to try to use the unix_socket authentication plugin.\nThis allows the root@localhost user to login without a password via the local\nUnix socket file defined by the socket system variable, as long as the login\nis attempted from a process owned by the operating system root user account.\nSecond, if authentication fails with the unix_socket authentication plugin,\nthen it is configured to try to use the mysql_native_password authentication\nplugin. However, an invalid password is initially set, so in order to\nauthenticate this way, a password must be set with SET PASSWORD.\nHowever, just using the unix_socket authentication plugin may be fine for many\nusers, and it is very secure. You may want to try going without password\nauthentication to see how well it works for you. Remember, the best way to\nkeep your password safe is not to have one!\n\n* All user accounts, passwords, and global privileges are now stored in the\nmysql.global_priv table. The mysql.user table still exists and has exactly the\nsame set of columns as before, but it’s now a view that references the\nmysql.global_priv table. Tools that analyze the mysql.user table should\ncontinue to work as before. From MariaDB 10.4.13, the dedicated mariadb.sys\nuser is created as the definer of this view. Previously root was the definer,\nwhich resulted in privilege problems when this username was changed.\n* MariaDB 10.4 adds supports for User Password Expiry, which is not active by\ndefault.\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nAs a result of the above changes, the open-for-everyone all-powerful root\naccount is finally gone. And installation scripts will no longer demand that\nyou \"PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MariaDB root USER !\", because\nthe root account is securely created automatically.\n\nTwo all-powerful accounts are created by default — root and the OS user that\nowns the data directory, typically mysql. They are created as:\n\nCREATE USER root@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket OR mysql_native_password\nUSING \'invalid\'\nCREATE USER mysql@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket OR\nmysql_native_password USING \'invalid\'\n\nUsing unix_socket means that if you are the system root user, you can login as\nroot@locahost without a password. This technique was pioneered by Otto\nKekäläinen in Debian MariaDB packages and has been successfully used in Debian\nsince as early as MariaDB 10.0.\n\nIt is based on a simple fact that asking the system root for a password adds\nno extra security — root has full access to all the data files and all process\nmemory anyway. But not asking for a password means, there is no root password\nto forget (no need for the numerous tutorials on \"how to reset MariaDB root\npassword\"). And if you want to script some tedious database work, there is no\nneed to store the root password in plain text for the script to use (no need\nfor debian-sys-maint user).\n\nStill, some users may wish to log in as MariaDB root without using sudo. Hence\nthe old authentication method — conventional MariaDB password — is still\navailable. By default it is disabled (\"invalid\" is not a valid password hash),\nbut one can set the password with a usual SET PASSWORD statement. And still\nretain the password-less access via sudo.\n\nIf you install MariaDB locally (say from a tarball), you would not want to use\nsudo to be able to login. This is why MariaDB creates a second all-powerful\nuser with the same name as a system user that owns the data directory. In\nlocal (not system-wide) installations, this will be the user who installed\nMariaDB — they automatically get convenient password-less root-like access,\nbecause they can access all the data files anyway.\n\nEven if MariaDB is installed system-wide, you may not want to run your\ndatabase maintenance scripts as system root — now you can run them as system\nmysql user. And you will know that they will never destroy your entire system,\neven if you make a typo in a shell script.\n\nHowever, seasoned MariaDB DBAs who are used to the old ways do need to make\nsome changes. See the examples below for common tasks.\n\nCookbook\n--------\n\nAfter installing MariaDB system-wide the first thing you’ve got used to doing\nis logging in into the unprotected root account and protecting it, that is,\nsetting the root password:\n\n$ sudo dnf install MariaDB-server\n$ mysql -uroot\n...\nMariaDB> set password = password(\"XH4VmT3_jt\");\n\nThis is not only unnecessary now, it will simply not work — there is no\nunprotected root account. To login as root use\n\n$ sudo dnf install MariaDB-server\n$ sudo mysql\n\nNote that it implies you are connecting via the unix socket, not tcp. If you\nhappen to have protocol=tcp in a system-wide /etc/my.cnf file, use sudo mysql\n--protocol=socket.\n\nAfter installing MariaDB locally you’ve also used to connect to the\nunprotected root account using mysql -uroot. This will not work either, simply\nuse mysql without specifying a username.\n\nIf you\'ve forgotten your root password, no problem — you can still connect\nusing sudo and change the password. And if you\'ve also removed unix_socket\nauthentication, to restore access do as follows:\n\n* restart MariaDB with --skip-grant-tables\n* login into the unprotected server\n* run FLUSH PRIVILEGES (note, before 10.4 this would’ve been the last step,\nnot anymore). This disables --skip-grant-tables and allows you to change the\nstored authentication method\n* run SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost to change the root password.\n\nTo view inside privilege tables, the old mysql.user table still exists. You\ncan select from it as before, although you cannot update it anymore. It\ndoesn’t show alternative authentication plugins and this was one of the\nreasons for switching to the mysql.global_priv table — complex authentication\nrules did not fit into rigid structure of a relational table. You can select\nfrom the new table, for example:\n\nselect concat(user, \'@\', host, \' => \', json_detailed(priv)) from\nmysql.global_priv;\n\nReverting to the Previous Authentication Method for root@localhost\n------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIf you don\'t want the root@localhost user account created by mysql_install_db\nto use unix_socket authentication by default, then there are a few ways to\nrevert to the previous mysql_native_password authentication method for this\nuser account.\n\nConfiguring mysql_install_db to Revert to the Previous Authentication Method\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOne way to revert to the previous mysql_native_password authentication method\nfor the root@localhost user account is to execute mysql_install_db with a\nspecial option. If mysql_install_db is executed while\n--auth-root-authentication-method=normal is specified, then it will create the\ndefault user accounts using the default behavior of MariaDB 10.3 and before.\n\nThis means that the root@localhost user account will use mysql_native_password\nauthentication by default. There are some other differences as well. See\nmysql_install_db: User Accounts Created by Default for more information.\n\nFor example, the option can be set on the command-line while running\nmysql_install_db:\n\nmysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/var/lib/mysql\n--auth-root-authentication-method=normal\n\nThe option can also be set in an option file in an option group supported by\nmysql_install_db. For example:\n\n[mysql_install_db]\nauth_root_authentication_method=normal\n\nIf the option is set in an option file and if mysql_install_db is executed,\nthen mysql_install_db will read this option from the option file, and it will\nautomatically set this option.\n\nAltering the User Account to Revert to the Previous Authentication Method\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIf you have already installed MariaDB, and if the root@localhost user account\nis already using unix_socket authentication, then you can revert to the old\nmysql_native_password authentication method for the user account by executing\nthe following:\n\nALTER USER root@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING\nPASSWORD(\"verysecret\")\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/authentication-from-mariadb-104/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/authentication-from-mariadb-104/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (119,10,'User Password Expiry','MariaDB starting with 10.4.3\n----------------------------\nUser password expiry was introduced in MariaDB 10.4.3.\n\nPassword expiry permits administrators to expire user passwords, either\nmanually or automatically.\n\nSystem Variables\n----------------\n\nThere are two system variables which affect password expiry:\ndefault_password_lifetime, which determines the amount of time between\nrequiring the user to change their password. 0, the default, means automatic\npassword expiry is not active.\n\nThe second variable, disconnect_on_expired_password determines whether a\nclient is permitted to connect if their password has expired, or whether they\nare permitted to connect in sandbox mode, able to perform a limited subset of\nqueries related to resetting the password, in particular SET PASSWORD and SET.\n\nSetting a Password Expiry Limit for a User\n------------------------------------------\n\nBesides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime,\npassword expiry times can be set on an individual user basis, overriding the\nglobal using the CREATE USER or ALTER USER statements, for example:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;\n\nLimits can be disabled by use of the NEVER keyword, for example:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER;\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER;\n\nA manually set limit can be restored the system default by use of DEFAULT, for\nexample:\n\nCREATE USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT;\n\nALTER USER \'monty\'@\'localhost\' PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT;\n\nSHOW CREATE USER\n----------------\n\nThe SHOW CREATE USER statement will display information about the password\nexpiry status of the user.

If an error occurs, DES_ENCRYPT() returns NULL.\n\nThe 128 is added to make it easier to recognize an encrypted key. If you use a\nstring key, key_num is 127.\n\nThe string length for the result is given by this formula:\n\nnew_len = orig_len + (8 - (orig_len % 8)) + 1\n\nEach line in the DES key file has the following format:\n\nkey_num des_key_str\n\nEach key_num value must be a number in the range from 0 to 9. Lines in the\nfile may be in any order. des_key_str is the string that is used to encrypt\nthe message. There should be at least one space between the number and the\nkey. The first key is the default key that is used if you do not specify any\nkey argument to DES_ENCRYPT().\n\nYou can tell MariaDB to read new key values from the key file with the FLUSH\nDES_KEY_FILE statement. This requires the RELOAD privilege.\n\nOne benefit of having a set of default keys is that it gives applications a\nway to check for the existence of encrypted column values, without giving the\nend user the right to decrypt those values.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT customer_address FROM customer_table \n WHERE crypted_credit_card = DES_ENCRYPT(\'credit_card_number\');\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/des_encrypt/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/des_encrypt/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (132,12,'ENCODE','Syntax\n------\n\nENCODE(str,pass_str)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nENCODE is not considered cryptographically secure, and should not be used for\npassword encryption.\n\nEncrypt str using pass_str as the password.

Returns 1 if the lock was obtained successfully, 0 if the\nattempt timed out (for example, because another client has previously locked\nthe name), or NULL if an error occurred (such as running out of memory or the\nthread was killed with mysqladmin kill).\n\nA lock is released with RELEASE_LOCK(), when the connection terminates (either\nnormally or abnormally). A connection can hold multiple locks at the same\ntime, so a lock that is no longer needed needs to be explicitly released.\n\nThe IS_FREE_LOCK function returns whether a specified lock a free or not, and\nthe IS_USED_LOCK whether the function is in use or not.\n\nLocks obtained with GET_LOCK() do not interact with transactions. That is,\ncommitting a transaction does not release any such locks obtained during the\ntransaction.\n\nIt is also possible to recursively set the same lock. If a lock with the same\nname is set n times, it needs to be released n times as well.\n\nstr is case insensitive for GET_LOCK() and related functions. If str is an\nempty string or NULL, GET_LOCK() returns NULL and does nothing. From MariaDB\n10.2.2, timeout supports microseconds. Before then, it was rounded to the\nclosest integer.\n\nIf the metadata_lock_info plugin is installed, locks acquired with this\nfunction are visible in the Information Schema METADATA_LOCK_INFO table.\n\nThis function can be used to implement application locks or to simulate record\nlocks. Names are locked on a server-wide basis. If a name has been locked by\none client, GET_LOCK() blocks any request by another client for a lock with\nthe same name. This allows clients that agree on a given lock name to use the\nname to perform cooperative advisory locking. But be aware that it also allows\na client that is not among the set of cooperating clients to lock a name,\neither inadvertently or deliberately, and thus prevent any of the cooperating\nclients from locking that name. One way to reduce the likelihood of this is to\nuse lock names that are database-specific or application-specific. For\nexample, use lock names of the form db_name.str or app_name.str.\n\nStatements using the GET_LOCK function are not safe for statement-based\nreplication.\n\nThe patch to permit multiple locks was contributed by Konstantin \"Kostja\"\nOsipov (MDEV-3917).\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT GET_LOCK(\'lock1\',10);\n+----------------------+\n| GET_LOCK(\'lock1\',10) |\n+----------------------+\n| 1 |\n+----------------------+\n\nSELECT IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\'), IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock1\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\') | IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock1\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 0 | 46 |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nSELECT IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\'), IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock2\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\') | IS_USED_LOCK(\'lock2\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 1 | NULL |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nMultiple locks can be held:\n\nSELECT GET_LOCK(\'lock2\',10);\n+----------------------+\n| GET_LOCK(\'lock2\',10) |\n+----------------------+\n| 1 |\n+----------------------+\n\nSELECT IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\'), IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock1\') | IS_FREE_LOCK(\'lock2\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 0 | 0 |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nSELECT RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock1\'), RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock2\');\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock1\') | RELEASE_LOCK(\'lock2\') |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n| 1 | 1 |\n+-----------------------+-----------------------+\n\nIt is possible to hold the same lock recursively.

It\nwaits until the value of gtid_slave_pos has the same or higher seq_no within\nall replication domains specified in the gtid-list; in other words, it waits\nuntil the slave has reached the specified GTID position.\n\nAn optional second argument gives a timeout in seconds. If the timeout expires\nbefore the specified GTID position is reached, then the function returns -1.\nPassing NULL or a negative number for the timeout means no timeout, and the\nfunction will wait indefinitely.\n\nIf the wait completes without a timeout, 0 is returned. Passing NULL for the\ngtid-list makes the function return NULL immediately, without waiting.\n\nThe gtid-list may be the empty string, in which case MASTER_GTID_WAIT()\nreturns immediately. If the gtid-list contains fewer domains than\ngtid_slave_pos, then only those domains are waited upon. If gtid-list contains\na domain that is not present in @@gtid_slave_pos, then MASTER_GTID_WAIT() will\nwait until an event containing such domain_id arrives on the slave (or until\ntimed out or killed).\n\nMASTER_GTID_WAIT() can be useful to ensure that a slave has caught up to a\nmaster. Simply take the value of gtid_binlog_pos on the master, and use it in\na MASTER_GTID_WAIT() call on the slave; when the call completes, the slave\nwill have caught up with that master position.\n\nMASTER_GTID_WAIT() can also be used in client applications together with the\nlast_gtid session variable. This is useful in a read-scaleout replication\nsetup, where the application writes to a single master but divides the reads\nout to a number of slaves to distribute the load. In such a setup, there is a\nrisk that an application could first do an update on the master, and then a\nbit later do a read on a slave, and if the slave is not fast enough, the data\nread from the slave might not include the update just made, possibly confusing\nthe application and/or the end-user. One way to avoid this is to request the\nvalue of last_gtid on the master just after the update. Then before doing the\nread on the slave, do a MASTER_GTID_WAIT() on the value obtained from the\nmaster; this will ensure that the read is not performed until the slave has\nreplicated sufficiently far for the update to have become visible.\n\nNote that MASTER_GTID_WAIT() can be used even if the slave is configured not\nto use GTID for connections (CHANGE MASTER TO master_use_gtid=no). This is\nbecause from MariaDB 10, GTIDs are always logged on the master server, and\nalways recorded on the slave servers.\n\nDifferences to MASTER_POS_WAIT()\n--------------------------------\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() is global; it waits for any master connection to reach\n the specified GTID position. MASTER_POS_WAIT() works only against a\n specific connection. This also means that while MASTER_POS_WAIT() aborts if\n its master connection is terminated with STOP SLAVE or due to an error,\n MASTER_GTID_WAIT() continues to wait while slaves are stopped.\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() can take its timeout as a floating-point value, so a\n timeout in fractional seconds is supported, eg. MASTER_GTID_WAIT(\"0-1-100\",\n 0.5). (The minimum wait is one microsecond, 0.000001 seconds).\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() allows one to specify a timeout of zero in order to do a\n non-blocking check to see if the slaves have progressed to a specific GTID\nposition\n (MASTER_POS_WAIT() takes a zero timeout as meaning an infinite wait). To do\n an infinite MASTER_GTID_WAIT(), specify a negative timeout, or omit the\n timeout argument.\n\n* MASTER_GTID_WAIT() does not return the number of events executed since the\n wait started, nor does it return NULL if a slave thread is stopped. It\n always returns either 0 for successful wait completed, or -1 for timeout\n reached (or NULL if the specified gtid-pos is NULL).\n\nSince MASTER_GTID_WAIT() looks only at the seq_no part of the GTIDs, not the\nserver_id, care is needed if a slave becomes diverged from another server so\nthat two different GTIDs with the same seq_no (in the same domain) arrive at\nthe same server. This situation is in any case best avoided; setting\ngtid_strict_mode is recommended, as this will prevent any such out-of-order\nsequence numbers from ever being replicated on a slave.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/master_gtid_wait/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/master_gtid_wait/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (161,14,'MASTER_POS_WAIT','Syntax\n------\n\nMASTER_POS_WAIT(log_name,log_pos[,timeout,[\"connection_name\"]])\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis function is useful in replication for controlling primary/replica\nsynchronization.

It is possible to avoid using a separator by specifying an empty\nstring.\n\nLIMIT\n-----\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3.3\n----------------------------\nUntil MariaDB 10.3.2, it was not possible to use the LIMIT clause with\nGROUP_CONCAT. This restriction was lifted in MariaDB 10.3.3.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nSELECT student_name,\n GROUP_CONCAT(test_score)\n FROM student\n GROUP BY student_name;\n\nGet a readable list of MariaDB users from the mysql.user table:\n\nSELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT User ORDER BY User SEPARATOR \'\\n\')\n FROM mysql.user;\n\nIn the former example, DISTINCT is used because the same user may occur more\nthan once. The new line (\\n) used as a SEPARATOR makes the results easier to\nread.\n\nGet a readable list of hosts from which each user can connect:\n\nSELECT User, GROUP_CONCAT(Host ORDER BY Host SEPARATOR \', \') \n FROM mysql.user GROUP BY User ORDER BY User;\n\nThe former example shows the difference between the GROUP_CONCAT\'s ORDER BY\n(which sorts the concatenated hosts), and the SELECT\'s ORDER BY (which sorts\nthe rows).\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.3, LIMIT can be used with GROUP_CONCAT, so, for example,\ngiven the following table:\n\nCREATE TABLE d (dd DATE, cc INT);\n\nINSERT INTO d VALUES (\'2017-01-01\',1);\nINSERT INTO d VALUES (\'2017-01-02\',2);\nINSERT INTO d VALUES (\'2017-01-04\',3);\n\nthe following query:\n\nSELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc\nDESC),\",\",1) FROM d;\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc DESC),\",\",1) |\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| 2017-01-04:3 |\n+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n\ncan be more simply rewritten as:\n\nSELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc DESC LIMIT 1) FROM d;\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n| GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT_WS(\":\",dd,cc) ORDER BY cc DESC LIMIT 1) |\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n| 2017-01-04:3 |\n+-------------------------------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/group_concat/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/group_concat/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (182,16,'MAX','Syntax\n------\n\nMAX([DISTINCT] expr)\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns the largest, or maximum, value of expr.

The value of LAST_INSERT_ID() remains\nunchanged if no rows are successfully inserted.\n\nIf one gives an argument to LAST_INSERT_ID(), then it will return the value of\nthe expression and the next call to LAST_INSERT_ID() will return the same\nvalue. The value will also be sent to the client and can be accessed by the\nmysql_insert_id function.\n\nFor example, after inserting a row that generates an AUTO_INCREMENT value, you\ncan get the value like this:\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 9 |\n+------------------+\n\nYou can also use LAST_INSERT_ID() to delete the last inserted row:\n\nDELETE FROM product WHERE id = LAST_INSERT_ID();\n\nIf no rows were successfully inserted, LAST_INSERT_ID() returns 0.\n\nThe value of LAST_INSERT_ID() will be consistent across all versions if all\nrows in the INSERT or UPDATE statement were successful.\n\nThe currently executing statement does not affect the value of\nLAST_INSERT_ID(). Suppose that you generate an AUTO_INCREMENT value with one\nstatement, and then refer to LAST_INSERT_ID() in a multiple-row INSERT\nstatement that inserts rows into a table with its own AUTO_INCREMENT column.\nThe value of LAST_INSERT_ID() will remain stable in the second statement; its\nvalue for the second and later rows is not affected by the earlier row\ninsertions. (However, if you mix references to LAST_INSERT_ID() and\nLAST_INSERT_ID(expr), the effect is undefined.)\n\nIf the previous statement returned an error, the value of LAST_INSERT_ID() is\nundefined. For transactional tables, if the statement is rolled back due to an\nerror, the value of LAST_INSERT_ID() is left undefined. For manual ROLLBACK,\nthe value of LAST_INSERT_ID() is not restored to that before the transaction;\nit remains as it was at the point of the ROLLBACK.\n\nWithin the body of a stored routine (procedure or function) or a trigger, the\nvalue of LAST_INSERT_ID() changes the same way as for statements executed\noutside the body of these kinds of objects. The effect of a stored routine or\ntrigger upon the value of LAST_INSERT_ID() that is seen by following\nstatements depends on the kind of routine:\n\n* If a stored procedure executes statements that change the value of\nLAST_INSERT_ID(), the new value will be seen by statements that follow the\nprocedure call.\n\n* For stored functions and triggers that change the value, the value is\nrestored when the function or trigger ends, so following statements will not\nsee a changed value.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t (\n id INTEGER UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,\n f VARCHAR(1))\nENGINE = InnoDB;\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'a\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 1 |\n+------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'b\');\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'c\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 3 |\n+------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'d\'),(\'e\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 4 |\n+------------------+\n\nSELECT * FROM t;\n+----+------+\n| id | f |\n+----+------+\n| 1 | a |\n| 2 | b |\n| 3 | c |\n| 4 | d |\n| 5 | e |\n+----+------+\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(12);\n+--------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID(12) |\n+--------------------+\n| 12 |\n+--------------------+\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 12 |\n+------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'f\');\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();\n+------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID() |\n+------------------+\n| 6 |\n+------------------+\n\nSELECT * FROM t;\n+----+------+\n| id | f |\n+----+------+\n| 1 | a |\n| 2 | b |\n| 3 | c |\n| 4 | d |\n| 5 | e |\n| 6 | f |\n+----+------+\n\nSELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(12);\n+--------------------+\n| LAST_INSERT_ID(12) |\n+--------------------+\n| 12 |\n+--------------------+\n\nINSERT INTO t(f) VALUES(\'g\');\n\nSELECT * FROM t;\n+----+------+\n| id | f |\n+----+------+\n| 1 | a |\n| 2 | b |\n| 3 | c |\n| 4 | d |\n| 5 | e |\n| 6 | f |\n| 7 | g |\n+----+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/last_insert_id/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/last_insert_id/');

For MariaDB\nnative applications, we recommend the usage of LIMIT, as it is easier to use\nand gives more predictable results than the usage of ROWNUM().\n\nThe main difference between using LIMIT and ROWNUM() to limit the rows in the\nresult is that LIMIT works on the result set while ROWNUM works on the number\nof accepted rows (before any ORDER or GROUP BY clauses).\n\nThe following queries will return the same results:\n\nSELECT * from t1 LIMIT 10;\nSELECT * from t1 WHERE ROWNUM() <= 10;\n\nWhile the following may return different results based on in which orders the\nrows are found:\n\nSELECT * from t1 ORDER BY a LIMIT 10;\nSELECT * from t1 ORDER BY a WHERE ROWNUM() <= 10;\n\nThe recommended way to use ROWNUM to limit the number of returned rows and get\npredictable results is to have the query in a subquery and test for ROWNUM()\nin the outer query:\n\nSELECT * FROM (select * from t1 ORDER BY a) WHERE ROWNUM() <= 10;\n\nROWNUM() can be used in the following contexts:\n\n* SELECT\n* INSERT\n* UPDATE\n* DELETE\n* LOAD DATA INFILE\n\nUsed in other contexts, ROWNUM() will return 0.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,ROWNUM()),(2,ROWNUM()),(3,ROWNUM());\n\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1),(2) returning a, ROWNUM();\n\nUPDATE t1 SET row_num_column=ROWNUM();\n\nDELETE FROM t1 WHERE a < 10 AND ROWNUM() < 2;\n\nLOAD DATA INFILE \'filename\' into table t1 fields terminated by \',\' \n lines terminated by \"\\r\\n\" (a,b) set c=ROWNUM();\n\nOptimizations\n-------------\n\nIn many cases where ROWNUM() is used, MariaDB will use the same optimizations\nit uses with LIMIT.\n\nLIMIT optimization is possible when using ROWNUM in the following manner:\n\n* When one is in a top level WHERE clause comparing ROWNUM() with a numerical\nconstant using any of the following expressions:\nROWNUM() < number\nROWNUM() <= number\nROWNUM() = 1\nROWNUM() can be also be the right argument to the comparison function.\n\nIn the above cases, LIMIT optimization can be done in the following cases:\n\n* For the current sub query when the ROWNUM comparison is done on the top\nlevel:\n\nSELECT * from t1 WHERE ROWNUM() <= 2 AND t1.a > 0\n\n* For an inner sub query, when the upper level has only a ROWNUM() comparison\nin the WHERE clause:\n\nSELECT * from (select * from t1) as t WHERE ROWNUM() <= 2\n\nOther Changes Related to ROWNUM\n-------------------------------\n\nWhen ROWNUM() is used anywhere in a query, the optimization to ignore ORDER BY\nin subqueries are disabled.\n\nThis was done to get the following common Oracle query to work as expected:\n\nselect * from (select * from t1 order by a desc) as t where rownum() <= 2;\n\nBy default MariaDB ignores any ORDER BY in subqueries both because the SQL\nstandard defines results sets in subqueries to be un-ordered and because of\nperformance reasons (especially when using views in subqueries). See MDEV-3926\n\"Wrong result with GROUP BY ... WITH ROLLUP\" for a discussion of this topic.\n\nOther Considerations\n--------------------\n\nWhile MariaDB tries to emulate Oracle\'s usage of ROWNUM() as closely as\npossible, there are cases where the result is different:\n\n* When the optimizer finds rows in a different order (because of different\nstorage methods or optimization). This may also happen in Oracle if one adds\nor deletes an index, in which case the rows may be found in a different order.\n\nNote that usage of ROWNUM() in functions or stored procedures will use their\nown context, not the caller\'s context.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rownum/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rownum/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (208,17,'ROW_COUNT','Syntax\n------\n\nROW_COUNT()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nROW_COUNT() returns the number of rows updated, inserted or deleted by the\npreceding statement. This is the same as the row count that the mysql client\ndisplays and the value from the mysql_affected_rows() C API function.\n\nGenerally:\n\n* For statements which return a result set (such as SELECT, SHOW, DESC or\nHELP), returns -1, even when the result set is empty. This is also true for\nadministrative statements, such as OPTIMIZE.\n* For DML statements other than SELECT and for ALTER TABLE, returns the number\nof affected rows.\n* For DDL statements (including TRUNCATE) and for other statements which don\'t\nreturn any result set (such as USE, DO, SIGNAL or DEALLOCATE PREPARE), returns\n0.\n\nFor UPDATE, affected rows is by default the number of rows that were actually\nchanged. If the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag to mysql_real_connect() is specified\nwhen connecting to mysqld, affected rows is instead the number of rows matched\nby the WHERE clause.\n\nFor REPLACE, deleted rows are also counted. So, if REPLACE deletes a row and\nadds a new row, ROW_COUNT() returns 2.\n\nFor INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY, updated rows are counted twice. So, if INSERT\nadds a new rows and modifies another row, ROW_COUNT() returns 3.\n\nROW_COUNT() does not take into account rows that are not directly\ndeleted/updated by the last statement. This means that rows deleted by foreign\nkeys or triggers are not counted.\n\nWarning: You can use ROW_COUNT() with prepared statements, but you need to\ncall it after EXECUTE, not after DEALLOCATE PREPARE, because the row count for\nallocate prepare is always 0.\n\nWarning: When used after a CALL statement, this function returns the number of\nrows affected by the last statement in the procedure, not by the whole\nprocedure.\n\nWarning: After INSERT DELAYED, ROW_COUNT() returns the number of the rows you\ntried to insert, not the number of the successful writes.\n\nThis information can also be found in the diagnostics area.\n\nStatements using the ROW_COUNT() function are not safe for replication.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t (A INT);\n\nINSERT INTO t VALUES(1),(2),(3);\n\nSELECT ROW_COUNT();\n+-------------+\n| ROW_COUNT() |\n+-------------+\n| 3 |\n+-------------+\n\nDELETE FROM t WHERE A IN(1,2);\n\nSELECT ROW_COUNT(); \n+-------------+\n| ROW_COUNT() |\n+-------------+\n| 2 |\n+-------------+\n\nExample with prepared statements:\n\nSET @q = \'INSERT INTO t VALUES(1),(2),(3);\';\n\nPREPARE stmt FROM @q;\n\nEXECUTE stmt;\nQuery OK, 3 rows affected (0.39 sec)\nRecords: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0\n\nSELECT ROW_COUNT();\n+-------------+\n| ROW_COUNT() |\n+-------------+\n| 3 |\n+-------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/row_count/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/row_count/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (209,17,'SCHEMA','Syntax\n------\n\nSCHEMA()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThis function is a synonym for DATABASE().\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/schema/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/schema/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (210,17,'SESSION_USER','Syntax\n------\n\nSESSION_USER()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nSESSION_USER() is a synonym for USER().\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/session_user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/session_user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (211,17,'SYSTEM_USER','Syntax\n------\n\nSYSTEM_USER()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nSYSTEM_USER() is a synonym for USER().\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/system_user/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/system_user/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (212,17,'USER','Syntax\n------\n\nUSER()\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nReturns the current MariaDB user name and host name, given when authenticating\nto MariaDB, as a string in the utf8 character set.\n\nNote that the value of USER() may differ from the value of CURRENT_USER(),\nwhich is the user used to authenticate the current client.

In this case, the problem will be reported in\nthe error log. Otherwise the table or an index might be marked as corrupted,\nto prevent use. This does not happen with some minor problems, like a wrong\nnumber of entries in a secondary index.

[ QUICK | EXTENDED ]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nCHECKSUM TABLE reports a table checksum. This is very useful if you want to\nknow if two tables are the same (for example on a master and slave).\n\nWith QUICK, the live table checksum is reported if it is available, or NULL\notherwise. This is very fast. A live checksum is enabled by specifying the\nCHECKSUM=1 table option when you create the table; currently, this is\nsupported only for Aria and MyISAM tables.\n\nWith EXTENDED, the entire table is read row by row and the checksum is\ncalculated. This can be very slow for large tables.\n\nIf neither QUICK nor EXTENDED is specified, MariaDB returns a live checksum if\nthe table storage engine supports it and scans the table otherwise.\n\nCHECKSUM TABLE requires the SELECT privilege for the table.\n\nFor a nonexistent table, CHECKSUM TABLE returns NULL and generates a warning.\n\nThe table row format affects the checksum value. If the row format changes,\nthe checksum will change. This means that when a table created with a\nMariaDB/MySQL version is upgraded to another version, the checksum value will\nprobably change.\n\nTwo identical tables should always match to the same checksum value; however,\nalso for non-identical tables there is a very slight chance that they will\nreturn the same value as the hashing algorithm is not completely\ncollision-free.\n\nIdentical Tables\n----------------\n\nIdentical tables mean that the CREATE statement is identical and that the\nfollowing variable, which affects the storage formats, was the same when the\ntables were created:\n\n* mysql56-temporal-format\n\nDifferences Between MariaDB and MySQL\n-------------------------------------\n\nCHECKSUM TABLE may give a different result as MariaDB doesn\'t ignore NULLs in\nthe columns as MySQL 5.1 does (Later MySQL versions should calculate checksums\nthe same way as MariaDB). You can get the \'old style\' checksum in MariaDB by\nstarting mysqld with the --old option. Note however that that the MyISAM and\nAria storage engines in MariaDB are using the new checksum internally, so if\nyou are using --old, the CHECKSUM command will be slower as it needs to\ncalculate the checksum row by row. Starting from MariaDB Server 10.9, --old is\ndeprecated and will be removed in a future release. Set --old-mode or OLD_MODE\nto COMPAT_5_1_CHECKSUM to get \'old style\' checksum.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/checksum-table/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/checksum-table/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (249,21,'OPTIMIZE TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nOPTIMIZE [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLE\n tbl_name [, tbl_name] ...\n [WAIT n | NOWAIT]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nOPTIMIZE TABLE has two main functions.

See WAIT and NOWAIT.\n\nDefragmenting\n-------------\n\nOPTIMIZE TABLE works for InnoDB (before MariaDB 10.1.1, only if the\ninnodb_file_per_table server system variable is set), Aria, MyISAM and ARCHIVE\ntables, and should be used if you have deleted a large part of a table or if\nyou have made many changes to a table with variable-length rows (tables that\nhave VARCHAR, VARBINARY, BLOB, or TEXT columns). Deleted rows are maintained\nin a linked list and subsequent INSERT operations reuse old row positions.\n\nThis statement requires SELECT and INSERT privileges for the table.\n\nBy default, OPTIMIZE TABLE statements are written to the binary log and will\nbe replicated. The NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG keyword (LOCAL is an alias) will ensure\nthe statement is not written to the binary log.\n\nFrom MariaDB 10.3.19, OPTIMIZE TABLE statements are not logged to the binary\nlog if read_only is set. See also Read-Only Replicas.\n\nOPTIMIZE TABLE is also supported for partitioned tables. You can use ALTER\nTABLE ... OPTIMIZE PARTITION to optimize one or more partitions.\n\nYou can use OPTIMIZE TABLE to reclaim the unused space and to defragment the\ndata file. With other storage engines, OPTIMIZE TABLE does nothing by default,\nand returns this message: \" The storage engine for the table doesn\'t support\noptimize\". However, if the server has been started with the --skip-new option,\nOPTIMIZE TABLE is linked to ALTER TABLE, and recreates the table. This\noperation frees the unused space and updates index statistics.\n\nThe Aria storage engine supports progress reporting for this statement.\n\nIf a MyISAM table is fragmented, concurrent inserts will not be performed\nuntil an OPTIMIZE TABLE statement is executed on that table, unless the\nconcurrent_insert server system variable is set to ALWAYS.\n\nUpdating an InnoDB fulltext index\n---------------------------------\n\nWhen rows are added or deleted to an InnoDB fulltext index, the index is not\nimmediately re-organized, as this can be an expensive operation. Change\nstatistics are stored in a separate location . The fulltext index is only\nfully re-organized when an OPTIMIZE TABLE statement is run.\n\nBy default, an OPTIMIZE TABLE will defragment a table. In order to use it to\nupdate fulltext index statistics, the innodb_optimize_fulltext_only system\nvariable must be set to 1. This is intended to be a temporary setting, and\nshould be reset to 0 once the fulltext index has been re-organized.\n\nSince fulltext re-organization can take a long time, the\ninnodb_ft_num_word_optimize variable limits the re-organization to a number of\nwords (2000 by default). You can run multiple OPTIMIZE statements to fully\nre-organize the index.\n\nDefragmenting InnoDB tablespaces\n--------------------------------\n\nMariaDB 10.1.1 merged the Facebook/Kakao defragmentation patch, allowing one\nto use OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment InnoDB tablespaces. For this functionality\nto be enabled, the innodb_defragment system variable must be enabled. No new\ntables are created and there is no need to copy data from old tables to new\ntables. Instead, this feature loads n pages (determined by\ninnodb-defragment-n-pages) and tries to move records so that pages would be\nfull of records and then frees pages that are fully empty after the operation.\nNote that tablespace files (including ibdata1) will not shrink as the result\nof defragmentation, but one will get better memory utilization in the InnoDB\nbuffer pool as there are fewer data pages in use.\n\nSee Defragmenting InnoDB Tablespaces for more details.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/optimize-table/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/optimize-table/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (250,21,'REPAIR TABLE','Syntax\n------\n\nREPAIR [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLE\n tbl_name [, tbl_name] ...\n [QUICK] [EXTENDED] [USE_FRM]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nREPAIR TABLE repairs a possibly corrupted table.

If the storage engine does\nnot support this statement, a warning is issued.\n\nThis statement requires SELECT and INSERT privileges for the table.\n\nBy default, REPAIR TABLE statements are written to the binary log and will be\nreplicated.

Its\nstructure members are:\n\n* my_bool maybe_null\nmaybe_null should be set to 1 if x_init can return a NULL value, Defaults to 1\nif any arguments are declared maybe_null.\n\n* unsigned int decimals\nNumber of decimals after the decimal point. The default, if an explicit number\nof decimals is passed in the arguments to the main function, is the maximum\nnumber of decimals, so if 9.5, 9.55 and 9.555 are passed to the function, the\ndefault would be three (based on 9.555, the maximum). If there are no\nexplicit number of decimals, the default is set to 31, or one more than the\nmaximum for the DOUBLE, FLOAT and DECIMAL types. This default can be changed\nin the function to suit the actual calculation.\n\n* unsigned int max_length\nMaximum length of the result. For integers, the default is 21. For strings,\nthe length of the longest argument. For reals, the default is 13 plus the\nnumber of decimals indicated by initid->decimals. The length includes any\nsigns or decimal points. Can also be set to 65KB or 16MB in order to return a\nBLOB. The memory remains unallocated, but this is used to decide on the data\ntype to use if the data needs to be temporarily stored.\n\n* char *ptr\nA pointer for use as required by the function. Commonly, initid->ptr is used\nto communicate allocated memory, with x_init() allocating the memory and\nassigning it to this pointer, x() using it, and x_deinit() de-allocating it.\n\n* my_bool const_item\nShould be set to 1 in x_init() if x() always returns the same value, otherwise\n0.\n\nAggregate Functions\n-------------------\n\nx_clear()\n---------\n\nx_clear() is a required function for aggregate functions, and is declared as\nfollows:\n\nvoid x_clear(UDF_INIT *initid, char *is_null, char *error);\n\nIt is called when the summary results need to be reset, that is at the\nbeginning of each new group. but also to reset the values when there were no\nmatching rows.\n\nis_null is set to point to CHAR(0) before calling x_clear().\n\nIn the case of an error, you can store the value to which the error argument\npoints (a single-byte variable, not a string string buffer) in the variable.\n\nx_reset()\n---------\n\nx_reset() is declared as follows:\n\nvoid x_reset(UDF_INIT *initid, UDF_ARGS *args,\n char *is_null, char *error);\n\nIt is called on finding the first row in a new group. Should reset the summary\nvariables, and then use UDF_ARGS as the first value in the group\'s internal\nsummary value. The function is not required if the UDF interface uses\nx_clear().\n\nx_add()\n-------\n\nx_add() is declared as follows:\n\nvoid x_add(UDF_INIT *initid, UDF_ARGS *args,\n char *is_null, char *error);\n\nIt is called for all rows belonging to the same group, and should be used to\nadd the value in UDF_ARGS to the internal summary variable.\n\nx_remove()\n----------\n\nx_remove() was added in MariaDB 10.4 and is declared as follows (same as\nx_add()):\n\nvoid x_remove(UDF_INIT* initid, UDF_ARGS* args,\n char* is_null, char *error );\n\nIt adds more efficient support of aggregate UDFs as window functions.\nx_remove() should \"subtract\" the row (reverse x_add()).

If the ENUM column is declared\nto permit NULL values, NULL becomes a valid value, as well as the default\nvalue (see below). If strict SQL Mode is not enabled, and an invalid value is\ninserted into an ENUM, a special empty string, with an index value of zero\n(see Numeric index, below), is inserted, with a warning.

It is supported for\ncompatibility with the INET6_ATON function, which also understands this\nformat. It\'s recommended to use the mapped format to store IPv4 addresses in\nINET6.\n\nWhen an IPv4 mapped (or compatible) value is stored in INET6, it still\noccupies 16 bytes:\n\nRetrieval\n---------\n\nOn retrieval, in the client-server text protocol, INET6 values are converted\nto the short text representation, according to RFC-5952, that is with all\nleading zeroes in each group removed and with consequent zero groups\ncompressed.\n\nBesides creating one\'s own stored function, there is no a way to retrieve an\nINET6 value using long text representation.\n\nCasting\n-------\n\n* CAST from a character string to INET6 understands addresses in short or long\ntext notation (including IPv4 mapped and compatible addresses). NULL is\nreturned if the format is not understood.\n* CAST from a binary string to INET6 requires a 16-byte string as an argument.\nNULL is returned if the argument length is not equal to 16.\n* CAST from other data types to INET6 first converts data to a character\nstring, then CAST from character string to INET6 is applied.\n* CAST from INET6 to CHAR returns short text address notation.\n* CAST from INET6 to BINARY returns its 16-byte binary string representation.\n* CAST from INET6 to data types other than CHAR (e.g. SIGNED, UNSIGNED, TIME,\netc) returns an error.\n\nComparisons\n-----------\n\nAn INET6 expression can be compared to:\n\n* another INET6 expression\n* a character string expression with a text (short or long) address\nrepresentation:\n* a 16-byte binary string expression:\n\nAttempting to compare INET6 to an expression of any other data type returns an\nerror.\n\nMixing INET6 Values for Result\n------------------------------\n\nAn INET6 expression can be mixed for result (i.e. UNION, CASE..THEN, COALESCE\netc) with:\n\n* another INET6 expression. The resulting data type is INET6.\n* a character string in text (short or long) address representation. The\nresult data type is INET6. The character string counterpart is automatically\nconverted to INET6. If the string format is not understood, it\'s converted\nwith a warning to either NULL or to \'::\', depending on the NULL-ability of the\nresult.\n* a 16-byte binary string. The resulting data type is INET6. The binary string\ncounterpart is automatically converted to INET6. If the length of the binary\nstring is not equal to 16, it\'s converted with a warning to NULL or to \'::\'\ndepending on the NULL-ability of the result.\n\nAttempts to mix INET6 for result with other data types will return an error.\n\nMixing INET6 with other data types for LEAST and GREATEST, when mixing for\ncomparison and mixing for result are involved at the same time, uses the same\nrules with mixing for result, described in the previous paragraphs.\n\nFunctions and Operators\n-----------------------\n\n* HEX() with an INET6 argument returns a hexadecimal representation of the\nunderlying 16-byte binary string\n* Arithmetic operators (+,-,*,/,MOD,DIV) are not supported for INET6. This may\nchange in the future.\n* The INET6_ATON function now understands INET6 values as an argument\n* The prototypes of the IS_IPV4_COMPAT and IS_IPV4_MAPPED functions have\nchanged from a BINARY(16) to a INET6,\n* When the argument for these two functions is not INET6, automatic implicit\nCAST to INET6 is applied. As a consequence, both functions now understand\narguments in both text representation and binary(16) representation. Before\nMariaDB 10.5.0, these functions understood only binary(16) representation.\n\nPrepared Statement Parameters\n-----------------------------\n\nINET6 understands both text and binary(16) address representation in prepared\nstatement parameters (PREPARE..EXECUTE and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements).\n\nMigration between BINARY(16) and INET6\n---------------------------------------\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.5.0, you may have used BINARY(16) as a storage for IPv6\ninternet addresses, in combination with INET6_ATON and INET6_NTOA to\nrespectively insert and retrieve data.\n\nFrom 10.5, you can ALTER BINARY(16) columns storing IPv6 addresses to INET6.\nAfter such an alter, there is no a need to use INET6_ATON() and INET6_NTOA().\nAddresses can be inserted and retrieved directly.\n\nIt is also possible to convert INET6 columns to BINARY(16) and continue using\nthe data in combination with INET6_NTOA() and INET6_ATON().\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (a INET6);\n\nInserting

added in MariaDB 10.2.7. This was done to make it possible\nto use JSON columns in statement based replication from MySQL to MariaDB and\nto make it possible for MariaDB to read mysqldumps from MySQL.\n\nJSON is an alias for LONGTEXT introduced for compatibility reasons with\nMySQL\'s JSON data type. MariaDB implements this as a LONGTEXT rather, as the\nJSON data type contradicts the SQL standard, and MariaDB\'s benchmarks indicate\nthat performance is at least equivalent.\n\nIn order to ensure that a a valid json document is inserted, the JSON_VALID\nfunction can be used as a CHECK constraint. This constraint is automatically\nincluded for types using the JSON alias from MariaDB 10.4.3.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t (j JSON);\n\nDESC t;\n+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |\n+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n| j | longtext | YES | | NULL | |\n+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+\n\nWith validation:\n\nCREATE TABLE t2 (\n j JSON\n CHECK (JSON_VALID(j))\n);\n\nINSERT INTO t2 VALUES (\'invalid\');\nERROR 4025 (23000): CONSTRAINT `j` failed for `test`.`t2`\n\nINSERT INTO t2 VALUES (\'{\"id\": 1, \"name\": \"Monty\"}\');\nQuery OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)\n\nReplicating JSON Data Between MySQL and MariaDB\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nThe JSON type in MySQL stores the JSON object in a compact form, not as\nLONGTEXT as in MariaDB. This means that row based replication will not work\nfor JSON types from MySQL to MariaDB.\n\nThere are a a few different ways to solve this:\n\n* Use statement based replication.\n* Change the JSON column to type TEXT in MySQL\n* If you must use row-based replication and cannot change the MySQL master\nfrom JSON to TEXT, you can try to introduce an intermediate MySQL slave and\nchange the column type from JSON to TEXT on it. Then you replicate from this\nintermediate slave to MariaDB.\n\nConverting a MySQL TABLE with JSON Fields to MariaDB\n----------------------------------------------------\n\nMariaDB can\'t directly access MySQL\'s JSON format.\n\nThere are a a few different ways to move the table to MariaDB:\n\n* From MariaDB 10.5.7, see the you can use the mysql_json plugin. See Making\nMariaDB understand MySQL JSON.\n* Change the JSON column to type TEXT in MySQL. After this, MariaDB can\ndirectly use the table without any need for a dump and restore.\n* Use mariadb-dump/mysqldump to copy the table.\n\nDifferences Between MySQL JSON Strings and MariaDB JSON Strings\n---------------------------------------------------------------\n\n* In MySQL, JSON is an object and is compared according to json values. In\nMariaDB JSON strings are normal strings and compared as strings. One exception\nis when using JSON_EXTRACT() in which case strings are unescaped before\ncomparison.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/json-data-type/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/json-data-type/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (279,23,'MEDIUMBLOB','Syntax\n------\n\nMEDIUMBLOB\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nA BLOB column with a maximum length of 16,777,215 (224 - 1) bytes.

The\neffective maximum length is less if the value contains multi-byte characters.\nEach TEXT value is stored using a two-byte length prefix that indicates the\nnumber of bytes in the value. If you need a bigger storage, consider using\nMEDIUMTEXT instead.\n\nAn optional length M can be given for this type. If this is done, MariaDB\ncreates the column as the smallest TEXT type large enough to hold values M\ncharacters long.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.2, all MariaDB collations were of type PADSPACE, meaning\nthat TEXT (as well as VARCHAR and CHAR values) are compared without regard for\ntrailing spaces. This does not apply to the LIKE pattern-matching operator,\nwhich takes into account trailing spaces.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.2.1, BLOB and TEXT columns could not be assigned a DEFAULT\nvalue. This restriction was lifted in MariaDB 10.2.1.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nTrailing spaces:\n\nCREATE TABLE strtest (d TEXT(10));\nINSERT INTO strtest VALUES(\'Maria \');\n\nSELECT d=\'Maria\',d=\'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+-----------+--------------+\n| d=\'Maria\' | d=\'Maria \' |\n+-----------+--------------+\n| 1 | 1 |\n+-----------+--------------+\n\nSELECT d LIKE \'Maria\',d LIKE \'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| d LIKE \'Maria\' | d LIKE \'Maria \' |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| 0 | 1 |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n\nIndexing\n--------\n\nTEXT columns can only be indexed over a specified length. This means that they\ncannot be used as the primary key of a table norm until MariaDB 10.4, can a\nunique index be created on them.\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.4\n--------------------------\nStarting with MariaDB 10.4, a unique index can be created on a TEXT column.\n\nInternally, this uses hash indexing to quickly check the values and if a hash\ncollision is found, the actual stored values are compared in order to retain\nthe uniqueness.\n\nDifference between VARCHAR and TEXT\n-----------------------------------\n\n* VARCHAR columns can be fully indexed. TEXT columns can only be indexed over\na specified length.\n* Using TEXT or BLOB in a SELECT query that uses temporary tables for storing\nintermediate results will force the temporary table to be disk based (using\nthe Aria storage engine instead of the memory storage engine, which is a bit\nslower. This is not that bad as the Aria storage engine caches the rows in\nmemory. To get the benefit of this, one should ensure that the\naria_pagecache_buffer_size variable is big enough to hold most of the row and\nindex data for temporary tables.\n\nFor Storage Engine Developers\n-----------------------------\n\n* Internally the full length of the VARCHAR column is allocated inside each\nTABLE objects record[] structure.

M represents the maximum column length in\ncharacters. The range of M is 0 to 65,532. The effective maximum length of a\nVARCHAR is subject to the maximum row size and the character set used. For\nexample, utf8 characters can require up to three bytes per character, so a\nVARCHAR column that uses the utf8 character set can be declared to be a\nmaximum of 21,844 characters.\n\nNote: For the ColumnStore engine, M represents the maximum column length in\nbytes.\n\nMariaDB stores VARCHAR values as a one-byte or two-byte length prefix plus\ndata. The length prefix indicates the number of bytes in the value. A VARCHAR\ncolumn uses one length byte if values require no more than 255 bytes, two\nlength bytes if values may require more than 255 bytes.\n\nMariaDB follows the standard SQL specification, and does not remove trailing\nspaces from VARCHAR values.\n\nVARCHAR(0) columns can contain 2 values: an empty string or NULL. Such columns\ncannot be part of an index. The CONNECT storage engine does not support\nVARCHAR(0).\n\nVARCHAR is shorthand for CHARACTER VARYING. NATIONAL VARCHAR is the standard\nSQL way to define that a VARCHAR column should use some predefined character\nset. MariaDB uses utf8 as this predefined character set, as does MySQL 4.1 and\nup. NVARCHAR is shorthand for NATIONAL VARCHAR.\n\nBefore MariaDB 10.2, all MariaDB collations were of type PADSPACE, meaning\nthat VARCHAR (as well as CHAR and TEXT values) are compared without regard for\ntrailing spaces. This does not apply to the LIKE pattern-matching operator,\nwhich takes into account trailing spaces. From MariaDB 10.2, a number of NO\nPAD collations are available.\n\nIf a unique index consists of a column where trailing pad characters are\nstripped or ignored, inserts into that column where values differ only by the\nnumber of trailing pad characters will result in a duplicate-key error.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nThe following are equivalent:\n\nVARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET utf8\nNATIONAL VARCHAR(30)\nNVARCHAR(30)\nNCHAR VARCHAR(30)\nNATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING(30)\nNATIONAL CHAR VARYING(30)\n\nTrailing spaces:\n\nCREATE TABLE strtest (v VARCHAR(10));\nINSERT INTO strtest VALUES(\'Maria \');\n\nSELECT v=\'Maria\',v=\'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+-----------+--------------+\n| v=\'Maria\' | v=\'Maria \' |\n+-----------+--------------+\n| 1 | 1 |\n+-----------+--------------+\n\nSELECT v LIKE \'Maria\',v LIKE \'Maria \' FROM strtest;\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| v LIKE \'Maria\' | v LIKE \'Maria \' |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n| 0 | 1 |\n+----------------+-------------------+\n\nTruncation\n----------\n\n* Depending on whether or not strict sql mode is set, you will either get a\nwarning or an error if you try to insert a string that is too long into a\nVARCHAR column. If the extra characters are spaces, the spaces that can\'t fit\nwill be removed and you will always get a warning, regardless of the sql mode\nsetting.\n\nDifference Between VARCHAR and TEXT\n-----------------------------------\n\n* VARCHAR columns can be fully indexed. TEXT columns can only be indexed over\na specified length.\n* Using TEXT or BLOB in a SELECT query that uses temporary tables for storing\nintermediate results will force the temporary table to be disk based (using\nthe Aria storage engine instead of the memory storage engine, which is a bit\nslower. This is not that bad as the Aria storage engine caches the rows in\nmemory. To get the benefit of this, one should ensure that the\naria_pagecache_buffer_size variable is big enough to hold most of the row and\nindex data for temporary tables.\n\nOracle Mode\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nIn Oracle mode from MariaDB 10.3, VARCHAR2 is a synonym.\n\nFor Storage Engine Developers\n-----------------------------\n\n* Internally the full length of the VARCHAR column is allocated inside each\nTABLE objects record[] structure. As there are three such buffers, each open\ntable will allocate 3 times max-length-to-store-varchar bytes of memory.\n* TEXT and BLOB columns are stored with a pointer (4 or 8 bytes) + a 1-4 bytes\nlength. The TEXT data is only stored once.

You can disable this feature using the\nmysql56_temporal_format system variable.\n\nTables that include TIMESTAMP values that were created on an older version of\nMariaDB or that were created while the mysql56_temporal_format system variable\nwas disabled continue to store data using the older data type format.\n\nIn order to update table columns from the older format to the newer format,\nexecute an ALTER TABLE... MODIFY COLUMN statement that changes the column to\nthe *same* data type. This change may be needed if you want to export the\ntable\'s tablespace and import it onto a server that has\nmysql56_temporal_format=ON set (see MDEV-15225).\n\nFor instance, if you have a TIME column in your table:\n\nSHOW VARIABLES LIKE \'mysql56_temporal_format\';\n\n+-------------------------+-------+\n| Variable_name | Value |\n+-------------------------+-------+\n| mysql56_temporal_format | ON |\n+-------------------------+-------+\n\nALTER TABLE example_table MODIFY ts_col TIME;\n\nWhen MariaDB executes the ALTER TABLE statement, it converts the data from the\nolder temporal format to the newer one.\n\nIn the event that you have several tables and columns using temporal data\ntypes that you want to switch over to the new format, make sure the system\nvariable is enabled, then perform a dump and restore using mysqldump.

For more information, see Internal Format, below.\n\nFor storage requirements, see Data Type Storage Requirements.\n\nSupported Values\n----------------\n\nMariaDB stores values that use the DATETIME data type in a format that\nsupports values between 1000-01-01 00:00:00.000000 and 9999-12-31\n23:59:59.999999.\n\nMariaDB can also store microseconds with a precision between 0 and 6. If no\nmicrosecond precision is specified, then 0 is used by default.\n\nMariaDB also supports \'0000-00-00\' as a special zero-date value, unless\nNO_ZERO_DATE is specified in the SQL_MODE. Similarly, individual components of\na date can be set to 0 (for example: \'2015-00-12\'), unless NO_ZERO_IN_DATE is\nspecified in the SQL_MODE. In many cases, the result of en expression\ninvolving a zero-date, or a date with zero-parts, is NULL.

See MDEV-11829 for more information.\n\nMariaDB validates DATETIME literals against the session\'s time zone. For\nexample, if a specific time range never occurred in a specific time zone due\nto daylight savings time, then DATETIME values within that range would be\ninvalid for that time zone.\n\nFor example, daylight savings time started on March 10, 2019 in the US, so the\ntime range between 02:00:00 and 02:59:59 is invalid for that day in US time\nzones:\n\nSET time_zone = \'America/New_York\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.000 sec)\n\nINSERT INTO timestamp_test VALUES (\'2019-03-10 02:55:05\');\nERROR 1292 (22007): Incorrect datetime value: \'2019-03-10 02:55:05\' for column\n`db1`.`timestamp_test`.`timestamp_test` at row 1\n\nBut that same time range is fine in other time zones, such as Coordinated\nUniversal Time (UTC). For example:\n\nSET time_zone = \'UTC\';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.000 sec)\n\nINSERT INTO timestamp_test VALUES (\'2019-03-10 02:55:05\');\nQuery OK, 1 row affected (0.002 sec)\n\nOracle Mode\n-----------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nIn Oracle mode from MariaDB 10.3, DATE with a time portion is a synonym for\nDATETIME.

The\ncolumns using relevant temporal data types are restored using the new temporal\nformat.\n\nStarting from MariaDB 10.5.1 columns with old temporal formats are marked with\na /* mariadb-5.3 */ comment in the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE, SHOW COLUMNS,\nDESCRIBE statements, as well as in the COLUMN_TYPE column of the\nINFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS Table.\n\nSHOW CREATE TABLE mariadb5312_datetime\\G\n*************************** 1. row ***************************\n Table: mariadb5312_datetime\nCreate Table: CREATE TABLE `mariadb5312_datetime` (\n `dt0` datetime /* mariadb-5.3 */ DEFAULT NULL,\n `dt6` datetime(6) /* mariadb-5.3 */ DEFAULT NULL\n) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nCREATE TABLE t1 (d DATETIME);\n\nINSERT INTO t1 VALUES (\"2011-03-11\"), (\"2012-04-19 13:08:22\"),\n (\"2013-07-18 13:44:22.123456\");\n\nSELECT * FROM t1;\n+---------------------+\n| d |\n+---------------------+\n| 2011-03-11 00:00:00 |\n| 2012-04-19 13:08:22 |\n| 2013-07-18 13:44:22 |\n+---------------------+\n\nCREATE TABLE t2 (d DATETIME(6));\n\nINSERT INTO t2 VALUES (\"2011-03-11\"), (\"2012-04-19 13:08:22\"),\n (\"2013-07-18 13:44:22.123456\");\n\nSELECT * FROM t2;\n+----------------------------+\n| d |\n+----------------------------+\n| 2011-03-11 00:00:00.000000 |\n| 2012-04-19 13:08:22.000000 |\n| 2013-07-18 13:44:22.123456 |\n+----------------------------++\n\nStrings used in datetime context are automatically converted to datetime(6).\nIf you want to have a datetime without seconds, you should use\nCONVERT(..,datetime).\n\nSELECT CONVERT(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\',datetime);\n+-----------------------------------------+\n| CONVERT(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\',datetime) |\n+-----------------------------------------+\n| 2007-11-30 10:30:19 |\n+-----------------------------------------+\n\nSELECT CONVERT(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\',datetime(6));\n+--------------------------------------------+\n| CONVERT(\'2007-11-30 10:30:19\',datetime(6)) |\n+--------------------------------------------+\n| 2007-11-30 10:30:19.000000 |\n+--------------------------------------------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/datetime/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/datetime/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (294,23,'TIMESTAMP','Syntax\n------\n\nTIMESTAMP [(0) THEN BEGIN NOT ATOMIC SELECT 1; END ; END IF;;\n\nExample of how to use WHILE loop:\n\nDELIMITER |\nBEGIN NOT ATOMIC\n DECLARE x INT DEFAULT 0;\n WHILE x <= 10 DO\n SET x = x + 1;\n SELECT x;\n END WHILE;\nEND|\nDELIMITER ;\n\nURL:\nhttps://mariadb.com/kb/en/using-compound-statements-outside-of-stored-programs/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/using-compound-statements-outside-of-stored-programs/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (298,24,'BEGIN END','Syntax\n------\n\n[begin_label:] BEGIN [NOT ATOMIC]\n [statement_list]\nEND [end_label]\n\nNOT ATOMIC is required when used outside of a stored procedure. Inside stored\nprocedures or within an anonymous block, BEGIN alone starts a new anonymous\nblock.\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nBEGIN ... END syntax is used for writing compound statements. A compound\nstatement can contain multiple statements, enclosed by the BEGIN and END\nkeywords. statement_list represents a list of one or more statements, each\nterminated by a semicolon (i.e., ;) statement delimiter. statement_list is\noptional, which means that the empty compound statement (BEGIN END) is legal.\n\nNote that END will perform a commit. If you are running in autocommit mode,\nevery statement will be committed separately. If you are not running in\nautocommit mode, you must execute a COMMIT or ROLLBACK after END to get the\ndatabase up to date.\n\nUse of multiple statements requires that a client is able to send statement\nstrings containing the ; statement delimiter. This is handled in the mysql\ncommand-line client with the DELIMITER command. Changing the ;\nend-of-statement delimiter (for example, to //) allows ; to be used in a\nprogram body.\n\nA compound statement within a stored program can be labeled. end_label cannot\nbe given unless begin_label also is present. If both are present, they must be\nthe same.\n\nBEGIN ... END constructs can be nested. Each block can define its own\nvariables, a CONDITION, a HANDLER and a CURSOR, which don\'t exist in the outer\nblocks. The most local declarations override the outer objects which use the\nsame name (see example below).\n\nThe declarations order is the following:\n\n* DECLARE local variables;\n* DECLARE CONDITIONs;\n* DECLARE CURSORs;\n* DECLARE HANDLERs;\n\nNote that DECLARE HANDLER contains another BEGIN ... END construct.\n\nHere is an example of a very simple, anonymous block:\n\nBEGIN NOT ATOMIC\nSET @a=1;\nCREATE TABLE test.t1(a INT);\nEND|\n\nBelow is an example of nested blocks in a stored procedure:\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE t( )\nBEGIN\n DECLARE x TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 1;\n BEGIN\n DECLARE x CHAR(2) DEFAULT \'02\';\n DECLARE y TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 10;\n SELECT x, y;\n END;\n SELECT x;\nEND;\n\nIn this example, a TINYINT variable, x is declared in the outter block. But in\nthe inner block x is re-declared as a CHAR and an y variable is declared. The\ninner SELECT shows the \"new\" value of x, and the value of y. But when x is\nselected in the outer block, the \"old\" value is returned. The final SELECT\ndoesn\'t try to read y, because it doesn\'t exist in that context.\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/begin-end/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/begin-end/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (299,24,'CASE Statement','Syntax\n------\n\nCASE case_value\n WHEN when_value THEN statement_list\n [WHEN when_value THEN statement_list] ...\n [ELSE statement_list]\nEND CASE\n\nOr:\n\nCASE\n WHEN search_condition THEN statement_list\n [WHEN search_condition THEN statement_list] ...\n [ELSE statement_list]\nEND CASE\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThe text on this page describes the CASE statement for stored programs.

To handle situations where no value is matched\nby any WHEN clause, use an ELSE containing an empty BEGIN ...

See Delimiters in the mysql client for more\non the use of the delimiter command.\n\nNote: The syntax of the CASE statement used inside stored programs differs\nslightly from that of the SQL CASE expression described in CASE OPERATOR.

HANDLER statement specifies handlers that each may deal with\none or more conditions. If one of these conditions occurs, the specified\nstatement is executed. statement can be a simple statement (for example, SET\nvar_name = value), or it can be a compound statement written using BEGIN and\nEND.\n\nHandlers must be declared after local variables, a CONDITION and a CURSOR.\n\nFor a CONTINUE handler, execution of the current program continues after\nexecution of the handler statement. For an EXIT handler, execution terminates\nfor the BEGIN ... END compound statement in which the handler is declared.\n(This is true even if the condition occurs in an inner block.) The UNDO\nhandler type statement is not supported.\n\nIf a condition occurs for which no handler has been declared, the default\naction is EXIT.\n\nA condition_value for DECLARE ... HANDLER can be any of the following values:\n\n* An SQLSTATE value (a 5-character string literal) or a MariaDB error\ncode (a number). You should not use SQLSTATE value \'00000\' or MariaDB\nerror code 0, because those indicate sucess rather than an error\ncondition. For a list of SQLSTATE values and MariaDB error codes, see\nMariaDB Error Codes.\n* A condition name previously specified with DECLARE ... CONDITION. It must be\nin the same stored program. See DECLARE CONDITION.\n* SQLWARNING is shorthand for the class of SQLSTATE values that begin\nwith \'01\'.\n* NOT FOUND is shorthand for the class of SQLSTATE values that begin\nwith \'02\'. This is relevant only the context of cursors and is used to\ncontrol what happens when a cursor reaches the end of a data set. If\nno more rows are available, a No Data condition occurs with SQLSTATE\nvalue 02000. To detect this condition, you can set up a handler for it\n(or for a NOT FOUND condition). An example is shown in Cursor Overview. This\ncondition also occurs for SELECT ... INTO var_list statements that retrieve no\nrows.\n* SQLEXCEPTION is shorthand for the class of SQLSTATE values that do\nnot begin with \'00\', \'01\', or \'02\'.\n\nWhen an error raises, in some cases it could be handled by multiple HANDLERs.\nFor example, there may be an handler for 1050 error, a separate handler for\nthe 42S01 SQLSTATE, and another separate handler for the SQLEXCEPTION class:\nin theory all occurrences of HANDLER may catch the 1050 error, but MariaDB\nchooses the HANDLER with the highest precedence. Here are the precedence rules:\n\n* Handlers which refer to an error code have the highest precedence.\n* Handlers which refer to a SQLSTATE come next.\n* Handlers which refer to an error class have the lowest precedence.\n\nIn some cases, a statement could produce multiple errors. If this happens, in\nsome cases multiple handlers could have the highest precedence. In such cases,\nthe choice of the handler is indeterminate.\n\nNote that if an error occurs within a CONTINUE HANDLER block, it can be\nhandled by another HANDLER. However, a HANDLER which is already in the stack\n(that is, it has been called to handle an error and its execution didn\'t\nfinish yet) cannot handle new errors—this prevents endless loops. For example,\nsuppose that a stored procedure contains a CONTINUE HANDLER for SQLWARNING and\nanother CONTINUE HANDLER for NOT FOUND. At some point, a NOT FOUND error\noccurs, and the execution enters the NOT FOUND HANDLER. But within that\nhandler, a warning occurs, and the execution enters the SQLWARNING HANDLER. If\nanother NOT FOUND error occurs, it cannot be handled again by the NOT FOUND\nHANDLER, because its execution is not finished.\n\nWhen a DECLARE HANDLER block can handle more than one error condition, it may\nbe useful to know which errors occurred. To do so, you can use the GET\nDIAGNOSTICS statement.\n\nAn error that is handled by a DECLARE HANDLER construct can be issued again\nusing the RESIGNAL statement.\n\nBelow is an example using DECLARE HANDLER:\n\nCREATE TABLE test.t (s1 INT, PRIMARY KEY (s1));\n\nDELIMITER //\n\nCREATE PROCEDURE handlerdemo ( )\n BEGIN\n DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE \'23000\' SET @x2 = 1;\n SET @x = 1;\n INSERT INTO test.t VALUES (1);\n SET @x = 2;\n INSERT INTO test.t VALUES (1);\n SET @x = 3;\n END;\n //\n\nDELIMITER ;\n\nCALL handlerdemo( );\n\nSELECT @x;\n+------+\n| @x |\n+------+\n| 3 |\n+------+\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-handler/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-handler/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (302,24,'DECLARE Variable','Syntax\n------\n\nDECLARE var_name [, var_name] ...

To\nprovide a default value for the variable, include a DEFAULT clause. The value\ncan be specified as an expression (even subqueries are permitted); it need not\nbe a constant. If the DEFAULT clause is missing, the initial value is NULL.\n\nLocal variables are treated like stored routine parameters with respect to\ndata type and overflow checking. See CREATE PROCEDURE.\n\nLocal variables must be declared before CONDITIONs, CURSORs and HANDLERs.\n\nLocal variable names are not case sensitive.\n\nThe scope of a local variable is within the BEGIN ... END block where it is\ndeclared. The variable can be referred to in blocks nested within the\ndeclaring block, except those blocks that declare a variable with the same\nname.\n\nTYPE OF / ROW TYPE OF\n---------------------\n\nMariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nTYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF anchored data types for stored routines were\nintroduced in MariaDB 10.3.\n\nAnchored data types allow a data type to be defined based on another object,\nsuch as a table row, rather than specifically set in the declaration. If the\nanchor object changes, so will the anchored data type. This can lead to\nroutines being easier to maintain, so that if the data type in the table is\nchanged, it will automatically be changed in the routine as well.\n\nVariables declared with ROW TYPE OF will have the same features as implicit\nROW variables. It is not possible to use ROW TYPE OF variables in a LIMIT\nclause.\n\nThe real data type of TYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF table_name will become known at\nthe very beginning of the stored routine call. ALTER TABLE or DROP TABLE\nstatements performed inside the current routine on the tables that appear in\nanchors won\'t affect the data type of the anchored variables, even if the\nvariable is declared after an ALTER TABLE or DROP TABLE statement.\n\nThe real data type of a ROW TYPE OF cursor_name variable will become known\nwhen execution enters into the block where the variable is declared. Data type\ninstantiation will happen only once. In a cursor ROW TYPE OF variable that is\ndeclared inside a loop, its data type will become known on the very first\niteration and won\'t change on further loop iterations.\n\nThe tables referenced in TYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF declarations will be checked\nfor existence at the beginning of the stored routine call. CREATE PROCEDURE or\nCREATE FUNCTION will not check the referenced tables for existence.\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nTYPE OF and ROW TYPE OF from MariaDB 10.3:\n\nDECLARE tmp TYPE OF t1.a; -- Get the data type from the column {{a}} in the\ntable {{t1}}\n\nDECLARE rec1 ROW TYPE OF t1; -- Get the row data type from the table {{t1}}\n\nDECLARE rec2 ROW TYPE OF cur1; -- Get the row data type from the cursor\n{{cur1}}\n\nURL: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-variable/','','https://mariadb.com/kb/en/declare-variable/'); insert into help_topic (help_topic_id,help_category_id,name,description,example,url) values (303,24,'FOR','MariaDB starting with 10.3\n--------------------------\nFOR loops were introduced in MariaDB 10.3.\n\nSyntax\n------\n\nInteger range FOR loop:\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR var_name IN [ REVERSE ] lower_bound .. upper_bound\nDO statement_list\nEND FOR [ end_label ]\n\nExplicit cursor FOR loop\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR record_name IN cursor_name [ ( cursor_actual_parameter_list)]\nDO statement_list\nEND FOR [ end_label ]\n\nExplicit cursor FOR loop (Oracle mode)\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR record_name IN cursor_name [ ( cursor_actual_parameter_list)]\nLOOP\n statement_list\nEND LOOP [ end_label ]\n\nImplicit cursor FOR loop\n\n[begin_label:]\nFOR record_name IN ( select_statement )\nDO statement_list\nEND FOR [ end_label ]\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nFOR loops allow code to be executed a fixed number of times.\n\nIn an integer range FOR loop, MariaDB will compare the lower bound and upper\nbound values, and assign the lower bound value to a counter.
