GRANT with database name wildcard in MySQL?
If I use back-tics instead of single quotes in the syntax, it appears to work just fine:
grant all on `projectA\_%`.* to `projectA`@`%`;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `projectA\_%`.* TO 'projectA'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_passwd';back-tics are needed for the database name
Edited:Underscore is now escaped.
As per MySQL's GRANT documentation:
The “_” and “%” wildcards are permitted when specifying database names in GRANT statements that grant privileges at the global or database levels. This means, for example, that if you want to use a “_” character as part of a database name, you should specify it as “\_” in the GRANT statement, to prevent the user from being able to access additional databases matching the wildcard pattern; for example, GRANT ... ON `foo\_bar`.* TO ....
