MySQL optional additional users

[Eric]

Something like this would be nice. (Please see attached image.)

If i'm not mistaken, DA automatically creates a MYSQL default user using the username and password in addition to any you request.

 

[Eric]

You're not mistaken; it does. However, for each database, a user is required to create another username to be associated with that database. It'd be nice if we can choose not to create an additional username for each database.

 

[mike_p]

Yup - I agree!

Bump! (I'd really love to have this feature.)

This is badly needed for website administrators.

I could go for this to

The only reason otherwise that I can think of is a little bit of added security (I do mean "little") It could possibly make it more difficult for hackers to gain access to multiple databases if they were able to get it, or at least compartmentalize damage to that single database and not all of the user's database. But as long as it's limited to their databases and was caused by a script flaw and not a security issue with the server, that's their choice...

Still waiting...

Drop DA a line and a link to this thread as a reference if nobody has done so already.

 

[Eric]

Uh... which email address should I send it to?

 

[jmstacey]

Probably [email protected]

 

[Eric]

Bump

Continual bumping is most likely not going to get results any faster

I've already sent them an email awhile ago.
