The mysqlhotcopy utility is a perl script that uses several basic system and SQL commands to backup a database. More specifically, it will lock the tables, flush the tables, make a copy, and unlock the tables. Although it is the fastest method available for backing up a MySQL database, it is limited to backing up only those databases residing on the same machine as where it is executed.
The REVOKE command is used to rescind privileges previously granted to a user. Its syntax is:
REVOKE priv_type [(column_list)] [, priv_type [(column_list)] ...] ON {tbl_name | * | *.* | db_name.*} FROM user_name [, user_name ...]
The GRANT function is used both to create new users, and to assign privileges to users. Its syntax is:
mysql>GRANT priv_type [(column_list)] [, priv_type [(column_list)] ...] ON {tbl_name | * | *.* | db_name.*} TO user_name [IDENTIFIED BY 'password'] [, user_name [IDENTIFIED BY 'password'] ...] [WITH GRANT OPTION]
