When I tried to use database_grant, I assumed the privilege
names would match the SQL GRANT command, for example, SELECT
or CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES. But in fact the privilege names
are taken from columns of the mysql.db table. As a result,
a row was created in mysqld.db, but none of the privileges
I intended to grant were actually granted.
Someone else filed a ticket with the same issue:
