MySQL

Most of the time we get this issue when we copy a MySQL database from one source to another.

Solution:

The simple solution to this problem is to run the below command on the MySQL server.

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourPassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;

The below points will help you in understanding the above command.

• *.* denotes all the tables of all the databases. Here * is a wild card for database and table names.
• 'root'@'%' means the root user of any host. Here % is a wild card for the hostname.

Generalized Form:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db_name.table_name TO 'user_name'@'host_name' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
