  • MySQL CLI Grant Command Frustration

  • Expressing frustration with the lack of database administration shortcuts in MySQL.

  • MySQL vs Postgres CLI

    • On May 24, 2011, I shared my irritation with the MySQL command-line interface.
    • I noted that it lacks a simple equivalent to PostgreSQL's \dp command to list all database grants.
    • I remarked that this deficiency explains why so many developers rely on GUI administration tools instead of the MySQL CLI.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
