Recently , we received an inquiry from a user in the background about the solution to the mistakenly deleted database. For businesses, this can be a big accident! But fortunately, this user read our Navicat automatic backup function article not long ago, and implemented the database backup operation, so most of the data can be restored through the backup. But the incremental data between backup and database deletion is still lost...

Deleting a database is a very dangerous operation that may result in loss of important data. Therefore, the delete database operation requires sufficient privileges to perform. The business flow of each enterprise is different, but high-power users are usually administrators or DBAs. They have higher authority, sharper awareness, and are more capable of ensuring the safety and accuracy of database deletion operations.

- drop, MySQL deletes the database and deletes the table authority.

MySQL's permission management system is designed very finely, and permissions are authorized based on roles. Navicat's built-in user management function can grant users specific permissions, assign roles, and revoke permissions more intuitively. Therefore, high-power users can control the permissions of database deletion operations through role configuration, and only grant limited users the permissions to perform database deletion operations, so as to perform this operation more securely. At the same time, regular backup of the database cannot be ignored to avoid losses caused by data loss.

In addition to the risk of deleting the library, there are some other risks that may occur:

Accidentally or maliciously deleting a library
Tampering with data
Too many queries, updates, and database connections issued by an account lead to a user monopolizing resources
Mistakenly indexing multiple databases leads to wasted or crashed server resources.

Today, we will introduce how to manage MySQL user permissions through Navicat Premium. Navicat for MySQL also includes the same user permission setting function, but it is specially designed for MySQL.
