Adding new MySQL is not something we usually do on a daily basis as we are just stuck using a single user. I constantly forget how to add users because we don’t need to add users all the time. Maybe this article can help.

Here’s how you add a new user to your MySQL database using terminal.

1. Create new user with username newuser, and host localhost, it can be an IP address


CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YourP@ssword123';


2. Add our new user permission, in this case we use asterisk symbol, mean this new user has root privileges


GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'@'localhost';

3. Commit or Reload the changes


FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Adding a new MySQL user is a very basic command, every database admin or developer must know these commands.

It’s much easier to add new user by using some database management tools like MySQL workbench, you don’t need to remember MySQL command, but it is sometimes you face some environment, server or cloud that doesn’t have GUI, so the only option you have to do is by using terminal.

4. Additional Information about MySQL

MySQL is the most used database system in the world, usually it is used for it is free and easy to install and easy to operate.

New developers usually choose MySQL as their first database to learn because that’s what it said in the majority of books or online tutorials, even me, when I first started in software development, the first database i use is MySQL.

Currently we have 2 different major versions of MySQL, version 5 and version 8. Sometimes upgrading from two different major versions is quite painful as there’s gonna be many changes in the system and is not backward compatible.

But if you want better performance and better security, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the newest database if possible. If you have time to fix your code to adapt to the new version.

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
