How To Add A New MySQL User, For Beginner Database Admin And Backend Developer

Adding new MySQL is not something we usually do on a daily basis as we are just stuck using a single user. I constantly forget how to add users because we don’t need to add users all the time. Maybe this article can help.

Here’s how you add a new user to your MySQL database using terminal.

1. Create new user with username newuser, and host localhost, it can be an IP address


CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YourP@ssword123';


2. Add our new user permission, in this case we use asterisk symbol, mean this new user has root privileges


GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'@'localhost';

3. Commit or Reload the changes


FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Adding a new MySQL user is a very basic command, every database admin or developer must know these commands.

It’s much easier to add new user by using some database management tools like MySQL workbench, you don’t need to remember MySQL command, but it is sometimes you face some environment, server or cloud that doesn’t have GUI, so the only option you have to do is by using terminal.

4. Additional Information about MySQL

MySQL is the most used database system in the world, usually it is used for it is free and easy to install and easy to operate.

New developers usually choose MySQL as their first database to learn because that’s what it said in the majority of books or online tutorials, even me, when I first started in software development, the first database i use is MySQL.

Currently we have 2 different major versions of MySQL, version 5 and version 8. Sometimes upgrading from two different major versions is quite painful as there’s gonna be many changes in the system and is not backward compatible.

But if you want better performance and better security, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the newest database if possible. If you have time to fix your code to adapt to the new version.

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil
