It's possible to grant privileges to any database which name is match some mask. Usually I do this for each new user:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `userdbname\_%`.* TO `username`@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'userpass';

After this command user will have all privileges to any database which name match "userdbname_SOMETHING". He also will be able to create any amount of databases at any time which name match this mask.

  • +1; and if you use phpMyAdmin, you can also do this on its graphic user interface: look at "Privileges" tab, "Add a new User". OR with an existing user, you can even "Edit Privileges", so you can modify the user's existing privileges. It's very easy this way.
