The GRANT statement grants privileges to MySQL user accounts. GRANT
also serves to specify other account characteristics such as use of
secure connections and limits on access to server resources. To use
GRANT, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and you must have the
privileges that you are granting.

Normally, a database administrator first uses CREATE USER to create an
account, then GRANT to define its privileges and characteristics. For
example:

CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
GRANT ALL ON db1.* TO 'jeffrey'@'localhost';
GRANT SELECT ON db2.invoice TO 'jeffrey'@'localhost';
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'jeffrey'@'localhost' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 90;

However, if an account named in a GRANT statement does not already
exist, GRANT may create it under the conditions described later in the
discussion of the NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER SQL mode.

The REVOKE statement is related to GRANT and enables administrators to
remove account privileges. See [HELP REVOKE].

When successfully executed from the mysql program, GRANT responds with
Query OK, 0 rows affected. To determine what privileges result from the
operation, use SHOW GRANTS. See [HELP SHOW GRANTS].
