mysql -uUSERNAME -p -h hostname -P 3306

In this example we allow the user 'testuser' on remote PC workstation1.example.com to access everything on the database testdb. We also set the password to be 123456;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testdb.* to 'testuser'@'db.example.com' IDENTIFIED BY '123456';

SELECT table_schema "Data Base Name", sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "Data Base Size in MB"
FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema ; 

SELECT user FROM mysql.user;

SELECT user,host FROM mysql.user;

CREATE USER 'testuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';

DROP USER 'testuser'@'localhost';

SET PASSWORD FOR 'testuser'@'%' = PASSWORD('cleartextpassword');

SET PASSWORD FOR 'testuser'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('cleartextpassword');
