Access MySQL and Switch to the MySQL Database
In this step, you will learn how to access the MySQL database using the sudo command without any password, and switch to the mysql database.
Start the MySQL service:
sudo service mysql start
Access the MySQL database using the sudo command:
sudo mysql
Switch to the mysql database:
USE mysql;
Query the Permission Information for the Root User
In this step, you will learn how to query the permission information for the root user with modify privileges.
Open the showGrant.sql file and add the following SQL statement:
SELECT * FROM user WHERE User = 'root' AND Host = 'localhost';
Save the showGrant.sql file.
Run the SQL script in the MySQL prompt:
SOURCE /home/labex/project/showGrant.sql;
This will display the permission information for the root user with modify privileges.
