8.6 Mandatory Guidelines for User and Grant Operations

This section provides the following mandatory guidelines for user and grant operations:

• NFs must create schema only from ndbappmysqld pods, whereas using ndbmysqld pods is not permitted.
• Use ndbappmysqld pods to run all user and privilege operations (for example, CREATE USER, ALTER USER, and GRANT).
• To prevent CREATE USER, ALTER USER, or GRANT statements from being written to the binlog (and therefore replicated), surround them with the following commands:
  • SET sql_log_bin = OFF; (before)
  • SET sql_log_bin = ON; (after)
• Do not use ndbmysqld pods for any schema, user, or grant tasks.
