First of all We need to create a record with username and password.

INSERT INTO user(user, password) values (‘root’, PASSWORD(‘PASSWORD_HERE’));

Then we need to add all the privileges to our root:

UPDATE `mysql`.`user` SET `Select_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Insert_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Update_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Delete_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Create_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Drop_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Reload_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Shutdown_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Process_priv` = ‘Y’,
`File_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Grant_priv` = ‘Y’,
`References_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Index_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Alter_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Show_db_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Super_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Create_tmp_table_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Lock_tables_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Execute_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Repl_slave_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Repl_client_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Create_view_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Show_view_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Create_routine_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Alter_routine_priv` = ‘Y’,
`Create_user_priv` = ‘Y’ WHERE `user`.`Host` = ” AND `user`.`User` = ‘root’ LIMIT 1 ;

And the last command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘PASSWORD_HERE’ WITH GRANT OPTION

Then you can do the same for da_admin mysql user:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO da_admin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘PASSWORD_HERE’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

Restart mysql and have fun.

In order to make your heavy MySQL servers perform faster all you need is to add a line to your MySQL configuration file: my.cnf.

max_write_lock_count = 1

This line should be added under [mysqld] section of my.cnf. I won’t describe what does this setting actually do as you’re welcome to read it in the original post. I just want to say that this little string greatly increases your MySQL server performance. You’re welcome to try and to get back in your comments.

If your database backup file exceeds 10 megabytes, it’ll be very hard to restore it using usual panel options (I mean Directadmin, Cpanel, PhpMyAdmin, etc). If you have shell a access to your server, you may significally decrease the time necessary for backup restore. All you have to do id to upload this backup to an accessible location, and then to run a command:

mysql -ppassword -u user database_name -h localhost < path_to_sql_file

This command will start mysql database restore ptocess without prompting for a password. If you want to enter your password each time, you should leave -p option empty.

This is the fastest way to recreate your database using a dump file.

mysqlcheck -uroot -ppass -Aor

Male sure to include MySQL root password for this operation. If you don’t know your root password, check DirectAdmin Help for information regarding it. Let’s describe used options in brief. -A tells us that all databases will be checked. -r – Repairs selected databases, -o – Optimizes selected databases. This simple operation will allow you to have only good databases in your backups. You may also add this operation to your root crontab to keep your databases optimized.
