Locking a stored procedure!

Hi,

Can i lock a stored procedure in mysql so that others can only be able to view it, but they will not be able to alter it?

Thanks,
Lauren

Hi.

You (the database administrator) can decide which privileges each user has.

A user must have the CREATE_ROUTINE privilege to create procedures and the ALTER_ROUTINE privilege to be able to change a procedure.
However, the EXECUTE privilege is all that is required to call a procedure.

So, a user without the first two but with the third would only be able to execute procedures but not alter them.

To grant and revoke privileges, see:
12.5.1.3. GRANT Syntax and 12.5.1.5. REVOKE Syntax.
