MySQL Error #1449 – The user specified as a definer does not exist in database

Jun 16, 2013 - by kurinchilamp 392 Views
The reason why this message is shown is because the user for the view does not exist in the database. There are few ways by which we can remove this error i) Alter statement ii) Create the specified user in the database iii) Modify the .frm files related to the view and set the definer We will show the Alter statement method to achieve the desired results # To fix it: mysql> ALTER DEFINER = 'root'@'localhost' VIEW `mytableview` AS select * from cities; mysql> SELECT * FROM mytableview; Sometimes it so happens that the view statement will be a big selection of fields with joins in it.

Linux: How the password is stored, salted and hashed securely?

Jun 14, 2013 - by kurinchilamp 403 Views
In earlier systems, passwords were stored in the file /etc/passwd and they were not encrypted. After the user is created, an entry gets recorded in /etc/passwd with 'x' in the second column instead of the acutal password. $ useradd timmy $ cat /etc/passwd timmy:x:1002:1003::/home/timmy:/bin/sh For security reasons, passwords are now stored in the file /etc/shadow and they are encrypted. Password was not set initially, when the user was created. This is indicated by !! mark (in RedHat, ! - Debian) $ cat /etc/shadow timmy:!!:15870:0:99999:7::: (more…)
