25.2.3.3. mysql_change_user()

my_bool mysql_change_user(MYSQL *mysql, const char *user, const char *password, const char *db)

Description

Changes the user and causes the database specified by db to become the default (current) database on the connection specified by mysql. In subsequent queries, this database is the default for table references that do not include an explicit database specifier.

mysql_change_user() fails if the connected user cannot be authenticated or doesn't have permission to use the database. In this case, the user and database are not changed

The db parameter may be set to NULL if you don't want to have a default database.

This command always performs a ROLLBACK of any active transactions, closes all temporary tables, unlocks all locked tables and resets the state as if one had done a new connect. This happens even if the user didn't change.

Return Values

Zero for success. Non-zero if an error occurred.

Errors

The same that you can get from mysql_real_connect().

  • CR_COMMANDS_OUT_OF_SYNC

    Commands were executed in an improper order.

  • CR_SERVER_GONE_ERROR

    The MySQL server has gone away.

  • CR_SERVER_LOST

    The connection to the server was lost during the query.

  • CR_UNKNOWN_ERROR

    An unknown error occurred.

  • ER_UNKNOWN_COM_ERROR

    The MySQL server doesn't implement this command (probably an old server).

  • ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR

    The user or password was wrong.

  • ER_BAD_DB_ERROR

    The database didn't exist.

  • ER_DBACCESS_DENIED_ERROR

    The user did not have access rights to the database.

  • ER_WRONG_DB_NAME

    The database name was too long.

Example

if (mysql_change_user(&mysql, "user", "password", "new_database"))
{
   fprintf(stderr, "Failed to change user.  Error: %s\n",
           mysql_error(&mysql));
}
