Query execute thread cannot connect to Mysql

Hello all,

I am relitivley new to mySQL. I started by downloading from the mySQL site.
I then downloaded mySQL administrator and mySQL Query browser.
With my set up I got a user root with a specified password.

I created a DB(school) . When I log into mySQL Query browser with root connection, I see all my tables etc. I even see the information_schema.
I can select anything from anything.

I set up a new user (student)that has select, update, insert, create, drop, delete privileges on my new DB(school).

I created a table in school called courses and filled it with test data.

I created a new connection called stuconnect for my user student

When I log into query browser using student, I get into the query browser and I can see my school db, and courses table. I can however see the information_schema stuff to.

(I don't like that, I don't want users to have access to that information)

When I try and execute a query:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Select * from school.courses;
I get the error :

Query execute thread cannot connect to Mysql,

Am I missing something ???

Thanks in advance

Hi.

All users can see the 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA' table. It contains details on everything that user has access to, like table and column information.
It is different for each user, depending on what privileges he has been granted.

Each user should not be able to see or change anything there unless he has been granted the privileges to do so by the normal SQL statements.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. Between work, school, and side projects I've been pretty busy.

Thank you for the clarification on information schema table, that makes sense.

I should have been able to figure that out myself.

Thank goodness for you guys.
