How can the username be changed in mysql?
To change the username in MySQL, you can follow these steps:
- To log in to the MySQL server, you can use the following command:
- Login to MySQL as root user with a password.
- This will prompt you to enter the root user password for MySQL. If you are using a different username, replace “root” with your username.
- To choose the database where you want to change the username, you can use the following command:
- connect to mysql;
- Run the following command to change the username:
- Update the user to ‘new_username’ where the user is ‘old_username’.
- Replace “new_username” with the new username you want to change to and replace “old_username” with the current username.
- Execute the following command to refresh permissions:
- refresh permissions;
- Finally, exit the MySQL server.
- leave;
After completing the steps above, your MySQL username will be changed to the new username. Please note that after changing the username, you may need to update the connection information in any applications or scripts associated with that username.
