    Reference statement: GRANT SELECT, SHOW VIEW, EVENT ON *.* TO 'user1';

    Full+incremental migration:

    SELECT, SHOW VIEW, EVENT, LOCK TABLES, REPLICATION SLAVE, and REPLICATION CLIENT

    • REPLICATION SLAVE and REPLICATION CLIENT are global permissions and must be enabled separately. The reference statement is as follows:

      GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'user1';

    • SELECT, SHOW VIEW, EVENT, and LOCK TABLES are non-global permissions. The reference statement is as follows:

      GRANT SELECT, SHOW VIEW, EVENT, LOCK TABLES, ON [Database to be migrated].* TO 'user1';

    Full migration:

    SELECT, CREATE, ALTER, DROP, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE, INDEX, EVENT, CREATE VIEW, CREATE ROUTINE, TRIGGER, REFERENCES, and WITH GRANT OPTION. If the destination database version is in the range 8.0.14 to 8.0.18, the SESSION_VARIABLES_ADMIN permission is required.

    Reference statement: GRANT SELECT, CREATE, ALTER, DROP, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE, INDEX, EVENT, CREATE VIEW, CREATE ROUTINE, TRIGGER ON *.* TO 'user1' WITH GRANT OPTION;

    If the source database version is 8.0, the user must have the SELECT permission for the mysql.user table. If the source database version is 5.7 or earlier, the user must have the SELECT permission for the MySQL system database.

    Reference statement:

    GRANT SELECT ON mysql.user TO 'user1'@'host' ;

    GRANT SELECT ON mysql.* TO 'user1'@'host' ;

    GRANT SELECT ON mysql.user_view TO 'user1';

    The destination database users must have the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and WITH GRANT OPTION permissions on all databases.

    Reference statement: GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON *.* TO 'user1' WITH GRANT OPTION
