Question
MySQL - User missing / lost when server restarted
Hi!
I have some problem with a MySQL Server 5.1 that is running on OpenVMS.
I create 2 users, on with a password and the other without any.
However, when we stop the server and restarts it, the users disappear and we have to recreate them.
mysql> show grants for 'general_user2';
+-------------------------
| Grants for general_user2@% |
+-------------------------
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'general_user2'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99
| GRANT SELECT ON "grhbd\_prod".* TO 'general_user2'@'%' |
+-------------------------
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show grants for 'general_user';
+-------------------------
| Grants for general_user@% |
+-------------------------
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'general_user'@'%' |
| GRANT SELECT, EXECUTE ON "grhbd\_prod".* TO 'general_user'@'%' |
+-------------------------
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
What needs to be done for the account to be "permanent" ?
Let me know if you need other information.. I'll try to answer fast.

I don't have an error log or kind of hostname.err file generated. Might be my openVMS distribution I don't know. But here are the log of the mysqld program. Please note that we cannot shutdown the MySQL correctly. Always have to kill the process. MysqlAdmin shutdown does not work and it's documented. The process says to log error to mysqld.err but that file is never generated. The log_error field in SHOW VARIABLES is also empty.

the mysqld.err is not generated because nothing is written to it.
You might try to stop it with stop/user
that would be a slightly better way to stop a process then just the default stop
(which ignores any usermode exit handlers).
It's about the difference between a kill -HUP and a kill -KILL (9) on unix.
Are there any other users within the mysql user table?
Or are those the only two.
How about the ownership of the files? (also within the mysql database storage)
I did some testing yesterday and I found something that works but I'm just not sure what it was.
I created my user using the mysql admin windows tool and made sure I refreshed the user list to see that it appears.
Directly in VMS I used flush privileges, checked the user table, etc. Then I shutdown the database right away and restarted it and now I'm keeping the user.
We have some problems with our MySQL release on OpenVMS that sometimes freeze because it's full of temporary tables / connection that hangs. After that, there is some sort of recovery that we see in the mysqld.log and maybe that's why it did not keep the newly created user.
