Stored Procedures Execution Privilege for Helen

Grant Execution Privilege on Stored Procedures

Write a MySQL query to grant the EXECUTE privilege on all stored procedures in the "HRDB" database to the user "helen".

Solution:

-- This command gives the user 'helen' permission to run stored procedures in HRDB
-- Grants EXECUTE privilege on all objects (like procedures) in HRDB for localhost connections
GRANT EXECUTE ON HRDB.* TO 'helen'@'localhost'; 

Explanation:

• Purpose of the Query:
• The goal is to allow the user "helen" to run stored procedures within the HRDB database.
• This demonstrates the assignment of the EXECUTE privilege for stored routines.
• Key Components:
• GRANT EXECUTE : Specifies the execution privilege to be granted.
• ON HRDB.* : Applies the privilege to all objects, including stored procedures, in HRDB.
• TO 'helen'@'localhost' : Identifies the user receiving the privilege.
• Real-World Application:
• Essential for environments where users must execute business logic encapsulated in stored procedures.

Notes:

• Ensure that the HRDB database contains stored procedures that require controlled execution access.
• Grant privileges sparingly to maintain security integrity

• Write a MySQL query to grant EXECUTE privileges on a specific set of stored procedures in "HRDB" to "helen".
• Write a MySQL query to grant EXECUTE privileges on all stored routines in "HRDB" to "helen" and then verify the privileges with a SHOW GRANTS query.
• Write a MySQL query to grant EXECUTE privileges on stored procedures in "HRDB" to "helen" and simulate a procedure call to test the granted access.
