Hi!

Can you tell me exactly what version of mysql are you running ?

Thanks!

Mysql was installed through apt-get from ftp.debian.org. The version is 5.0.15-Debian_2-log.

I get the same error on Windows XP SP2 when trying to display or modify user account info:

Error while fetching user information.  The following error occured: Unknown column 'Create_view_priv' in field list (1054).

Using MySQL 5.0.15 with Administrator 1.1.15.

This means that I can not do any admin of user accounts.

Same error message when attempting to display user information.
Windows 2000 professional
MySQL 5.0.15nt via TCP
connected to localhost as root
MySQL Administrator 1.1.5 (downloaded 9 December)
Could this be the same as Create_tmp_table_priv that is found in the MySQL/user table?

This feature worked when I was using MySQL 4.1 with MySQL Administrator 1.1.5

When I upgraded to Version 5.0.16 I get the error described above

I had the same problem with MySQL 5.0.18 on SuSE 9.3 Pro.
After executing 'mysql_fix_privilege_tables' problem disappeared and 'user' table has two new columns. Details in reference manual:

5.4. mysql_fix_privilege_tables — Upgrade MySQL System Tables

Hi Ionut,

Can you confirm or decline that updating MySQL system tables fixed the problem?

Thanks

I have MySQL 5.0.22 and neither the mysql_upgrade application nor the scripts/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script is included with the distribution. In fact, there is not scripts directory at all.

I am having similar problem on Fedora Core 6 running mysql 5.0.22. I recently upgraded from version 4. Running the mysql_upgrade command returns ok for all tables but I still am not able to administer users even after restarting database. If I run mysql-fix_privilege_tables, I get the following error-> Got a failure from command:
cat /usr/share/mysql/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql | /usr/bin/mysql --no-defaults --force --user=root --host=localhost --database=mysql
Please check the above output and try again. So I try this command from shell: cat /usr/share/mysql/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql | /usr/bin/mysql --no-defaults --force --user=root --host=localhost --database=mysql --password
then I get the following output. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem with MySQL Administrator 1.2.11 and MySQL 5.0.37-community on Windows 2003 Server.

Following the links seems to indicate I should run mysql_upgrade, but running:

mysqlcheck --check-upgrade --all-databases 

doesn't find any problems.  I'm also seeing that "mysql_upgrade supersedes the older mysql_fix_privilege_tables script" so I'm not sure where to go from here.
