Hi there,

Does someone know if there's some trick to grant to a user 'SELECT' privilege
to all tables of a db except 3 ?

My problem is that this database contains lot of tables and I don't want to grant per tables right (NB. this user should be able to use 'SELECT' on new tables that I could create).

So what I am looking to do is smth like that (but EXCEPT doesn't exists):
GRANT SELECT ON db.* EXCEPT db.table103, db.table104, db.table105 TO user@'1.2.3.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd'.

Thanks in advance for any feedback !

PS. mysql -V = 4.0.12

My first thought would be to move those two tables into their own database.

thx for your reply Pat but I can't move them in an other db (needed to combine w/ other tables in the db).
