Minimum GRANTs needed by mysqldump for dumping a full schema? (TRIGGERs are missing!!)

Question

I have a MySQL user called dump with the following perms:

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO \'dump\'@\'%\' IDENTIFIED BY ...
GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON `mysql         


        

Answer 1

Assuming by full dump you also mean the VIEWs and the EVENTs, you would need:

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'dump'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY ...;
GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON `mysql`.* TO 'dump'@'%';
GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES, SHOW VIEW, EVENT, TRIGGER ON `myschema`.* TO 'dump'@'%';

and if you have VIEWs that execute a function, then unfortunately you also need EXECUTE.

My own problem is: why do I need SELECT if I only want to make a no-data dump?
