MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5 and NDB Cluster 7.6
The SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES table provides
information about schema (database) privileges. It takes its
values from the mysql.db system table.
The SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES table has these
columns:
GRANTEE
The name of the account to which the privilege is granted, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the schema belongs. This
value is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema.
PRIVILEGE_TYPE
The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the schema level; see Section 13.7.1.4, “GRANT Statement”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per schema privilege held by the grantee.
IS_GRANTABLE
YES if the user has the
GRANT OPTION privilege,
NO otherwise. The output does not list
GRANT OPTION as a separate row
with PRIVILEGE_TYPE='GRANT OPTION'.
SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
The following statements are not equivalent:
SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES SHOW GRANTS ...
