Clarify how to grant specific privileges with database_grant

mcary · mcary · commit 0137e7edeb9e · 2012-08-21T10:42:20.000-07:00
When I tried to use database_grant, I assumed the privilege names would match the SQL GRANT command, for example, SELECT or CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES. But in fact the privilege names are taken from columns of the mysql.db table. As a result, a row was created in mysqld.db, but none of the privileges I intended to grant were actually granted. Someone else filed a ticket with the same issue: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15808 Document that how to specify individual privileges in README.md.
