RENAME USER old_user TO new_user [, old_user TO new_user] ...
The RENAME USER statement renames existing MariaDB accounts. To use it, you must have the global CREATE USER
privilege or the UPDATE
privilege for the mysql
database. Each account is named using the same format as for the CREATE USER
statement; for example, 'jeffrey'@'localhost'
. If you specify only the user name part of the account name, a host name part of '%'
is used.
If any of the old user accounts do not exist or any of the new user accounts already exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000)
results. If an error occurs, RENAME USER
will still rename the accounts that do not result in an error.
CREATE USER 'donald', 'mickey'; RENAME USER 'donald' TO 'duck'@'localhost', 'mickey' TO 'mouse'@'localhost';
