How do I grant privileges in MySQL

To grant privileges in MySQL, you can use the GRANT statement. This allows you to specify which privileges to assign to a user and on which database or table. It's essential to manage user privileges carefully to ensure database security and integrity.

Here is an example of how to use the GRANT command:

GRANT SELECT, INSERT ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'host';

This command grants the SELECT and INSERT privileges on all tables within the specified database to the user 'username' connecting from 'host'.
