										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>MySQL is a popular open-source database management system&nbsp;(DBMS)&nbsp;used in millions of applications across the world. Unlike other database systems, you can create a new user in MySQL without sophisticated tools or commands in your access diameter. To successfully create your user, all you need is access to the MySQL console or a GUI tool such as PHPMyAdmin.</p>



<p>As a norm, each time you create a new user in MySQL, you must assign the user correct privileges to access and manage databases on your MySQL cluster. Failure to assign the user correct privileges may lead to little or no access to all MySQL databases.</p>



<p>In this article, we’ll create a new user in MySQL identified with the name `example-user` you will have to replace with your desired username. It’s also important to note that you must have administrative access to the MySQL Shell, then, follow the steps in this article to create your new database user account.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/MySQL.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="750" height="500" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/MySQL.jpg" alt="Create a new user in MySQL" class="wp-image-16606" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/MySQL.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/MySQL-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/MySQL-696x464.jpg 696w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 1: Log in to&nbsp;the&nbsp;MySQL&nbsp;Console</h2>



<p>To log in to the MySQL console, make sure you have a user account with administrative privileges. If you are running <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-delete-files-on-linux-using-the-rm-command/" data-type="post" data-id="16238">Linux</a>, you can simply use the <code>sudo</code> command to attain root privileges and log in without a password as below.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>$ sudo mysql</code></pre>



<p>If you have an administrative username and password, run the following command:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>$ mysql -u username-here -p</code></pre>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 2: Create&nbsp;a new MySQL&nbsp;User</h2>



<p>Once logged in to the MySQL console, create the user <code>example-user</code> by running the following command:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>CREATE USER 'example-user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strong-passsword';</code></pre>



<p>In the above command, <code>example-user</code> is the new MySQL user account. <code>localhost</code> defines that you are running MySQL client on the same database server.<code>strong-password</code> represents the user password which must be strong enough to protect your MySQL server.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 3: Grant the MYSQL User Privileges to Databases</h2>



<p>Now that the user is created, you must grant the MySQL user necessary privileges to one or more databases. These privileges determine what the user can do on the database whether create, read, update, or delete data which you can set as below.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">GRANT &lt;PRIVILEGE> ON &lt;Database> TO &lt;user> @ &lt;database-server></pre>



<p>The privileges determine what the user can do in MySQL. For example, you can grant the user the privileges to create, read, update, and delete data, or you can limit the user to only read from the database.</p>



<p>Grant the MySQL user full privileges to all databases.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON .* TO 'example-user'@'localhost';</code></pre>



<p>Grant the MySQL user full privileges to a single database. For example, the <code>example</code> database.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON example.* TO 'example-user'@'localhost';</code></pre>



<p>Once applied, the MySQL user only has privileges to the selected databases, and not any other on the server. This is important when grouping users in form of departments to limit what they can access.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 4: Flush Privileges&nbsp;to Save MySQL user permissions</h2>



<p>Once you create a new user in MySQL or change permissions, you must refresh the database privileges for changes to take effect. To flush privileges, simply run the following command:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>FLUSH PRIVILEGES</code></pre>



<p>Upon flushing privileges, the MySQL privilege tables are refreshed with new data. This ensures that your changes to the database server users and permissions are applied.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Test the new MySQL User</h2>



<p>To verify that the new MySQL user is well created and the assigned password works well, exit the MySQL console. Then, log in again using the new MySQL user as described below.</p>



<p>First, exit the MYSQL console.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>EXIT</code></pre>



<p>Log in as the new user.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>$ mysql -u example-user -p</code></pre>



<p>Enter the user password when prompted.</p>



<p>Verify that the user has access to the assigned databases.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>SHOW DATABASES;</code></pre>



<p>Exit the MySQL console.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>EXIT</code></pre>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do More each time you Create a New User in MySQL</h2>



<p>In this article, you have successfully set up a new user in MySQL and assigned the necessary privileges to allow the user access available databases. The above process is important when setting up new applications such as websites that require database access to keep the rest of your databases safe. For more information about MySQL, please visit its <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/doc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>official documentation</u></a>.</p>

<p>You can learn programming online for free without paying a cent for a University diploma or degree. In fact, most developers are self-taught since universities often teach old content that’s not relevant to the current trends.</p>



<p>As a basic rule of thumb, you can spike through from beginner to advanced by taking time to learn programming online for free. There are various resources available online that can help you launch your career straight from scratch.</p>



<p>Among these, Freecodecamp has garnered popularity in recent years, but W3Schools and Udemy continue to be good choices. Well, if you’re looking to learn programming online for free, below is a step-by-step guide on what you need and how you can get started.</p>



<p><strong>Step 1: Choose </strong><strong>your Focus programming language</strong></p>



<p>Before you learn programming online for free, the very first step you need to consider is choosing a programming language to start with. Much as you may be interested in an array of development languages, you need to first focus on one programming language at a time.</p>



<p>There are many popular programming languages to choose from, for example, HTML + CSS, Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, C, Kotlin, Ruby, PHP, and others that may match your preferences.</p>



<p>Every programming language has its unique features and benefits. For instance, if you’re into Android development, you have to choose between Java and Kotlin. However, it’s recommended to start with a language that is easy to learn and has a large community you can get support in case of any bugs in your code.</p>



<p><strong>Step 2: Find </strong><strong>a Free Online Programming Course</strong></p>



<p>With your preferred programming language well set in the chamber, it’s time to find online courses to start learning. Most crash courses range between 3 hours to 48 hours depending on the instructor, in some cases, some break down into 3 or more parts for easy follow-up.</p>



<p>There are many online courses you can select from, but what matters most is the course provider or target platform you may choose. Among the best platforms you can learn programming for free online include the following.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>W3Schools – HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, C++, Kotlin, PHP, C#</li><li>FreeCodeCamp – Java, PHP, C++, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS</li><li>Learn Python – Python</li><li>Cisco Skills for All – Python, JavaScript, Linux</li><li>Youtube – All languages.</li><li>ChatGPT – All languages.</li></ul>



<p>Free, but with paid plans.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Codecademy –&nbsp;HTML, Java, C++, C#, PHP, Rust, Python</li><li>Udemy – HTML, Java, C++, C#, PHP, Rust, Python &amp; all languages.</li><li>Coursera – HTML, Java, C++, C#, PHP, Rust, Python, and all languages.</li><li>edX – HTML, Java, C++, C#, PHP, Rust, Python and all languages.</li><li>LinkedIn Learning (Free Trial) – All languages.</li></ul>



<p>Depending on your preferences, we highly recommend W3 Schools as the best platform you can learn programming online for free, it does not have any hidden costs or payment plans, and offers trials when running code. Free Code Camp is another alternative that focuses on Video production as its main delivery mechanism.</p>



<p><strong>Step 3: Practice</strong><strong> makes perfect</strong></p>



<p>Learning programming requires a lot of practice. You need to write a lot of code to become proficient in a language. Make sure you practice simple programs and gradually move on to more complex ones as you learn. You can find a lot of programming challenges and exercises that are offered in your course that can help you improve your programming skills.</p>



<p><strong>Step 4: Join online</strong><strong> developer communities</strong></p>



<p>Joining online communities is a great way to connect with other programmers and get help when you need it. You can find many online communities dedicated to programming on platforms like Reddit, Stack Overflow, Quora, and GitHub.</p>



<p>Developer communities are great for asking questions, sharing your code, and getting feedback from other programmers when you find bugs in your code.</p>



<p><strong>Step 5: Build </strong><strong>Real-World projects</strong></p>



<p>The era of building console applications that you can’t apply in real-world Apps is long gone. Now that you have advanced with a course of your choice, start building projects to apply your programming skills and learn more things on the go.</p>



<p>Build simple projects such as a calculator, or a to-do list application, then, gradually move on to more complex ones. You can find a lot of project ideas in developer communities you can work on, or simply fork and improve projects on GitHub.</p>



<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>



<p>When you learn programming online for free, it’s a great way to start your journey as a developer. By following the steps explained in this article, you can learn programming at your own pace and without spending any money on courses.</p>



<p>So, remember to choose a programming language you love, find a free course provider, practice a lot, join online developer communities, and try building real-world projects. With persistence and dedication, you can become a proficient programmer in no time. If there are any missing steps in this article, please share them in the comment section below.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s important to create a mobile hotspot on your Android smartphone because its saves you dual data recharges and makes file sharing between your devices easy. For example, if you have no data cable to connect your smartphone to a computer, simply <a href="https://techpointmag.com/transfer-files-from-your-smartphone-to-a-computer/" data-type="post" data-id="12060">install Xender</a>, create a mobile hotspot on your Android Smartphone, get the IP Address, and start sharing files to the computer.</p>



<p>However, each time you choose to create a <a href="https://techpointmag.com/create-a-wifi-hotspot-on-windows-10-using-cmd/" data-type="post" data-id="14864">mobile hotspot</a>, make sure you follow the guidelines below to safe guard your data and prevent any hacking attempts to your network.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Choose a strong password encryption method. WPA2 PSK is the best to consider though WEP and WPA are also strong.</li><li>Set up a unique mobile WiFi Network. Make sure it&#8217;s not similar to those in the area.</li><li>Choose a password between 5 to 8 characters mixed by numbers and letters.</li></ul>



<p>When ready to setup your hotspot, swipe through your smartphone&#8217;s Settings and create a <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-find-your-mobile-hotspot-password/" data-type="post" data-id="15673">mobile hotspot </a>as described below:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong>.</li><li>Find and tap <strong>Connections</strong>, or for some phones, tap <strong>Network &amp; Internet</strong>.</li><li>Go to <strong>Mobile Hotspot</strong> <strong>and Tethering</strong>.</li><li>Turn the <strong>Mobile Hotspot</strong> switch button to <strong>ON</strong>.</li></ol>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Create-mobile-hotspot-on-android.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="452" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Create-mobile-hotspot-on-android.jpg" alt="create a mobile hotspot on android" class="wp-image-16394" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Create-mobile-hotspot-on-android.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Create-mobile-hotspot-on-android-300x181.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a></figure></div>


<ol class="wp-block-list" start="5"><li>Tap <strong>Mobile Hotspot</strong>.</li><li>Tap your default network name. It is set to different values depending on your Android smartphone.</li><li>Enter a new <strong>Network name</strong> and tap <strong>Save</strong> to load it.</li></ol>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Set-Mobile-Hotspot-Name-on-Android.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="716" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Set-Mobile-Hotspot-Name-on-Android.jpg" alt="Set mobile hotspot name on android" class="wp-image-16395" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Set-Mobile-Hotspot-Name-on-Android.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Set-Mobile-Hotspot-Name-on-Android-300x286.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a></figure></div>


<ol class="wp-block-list" start="8"><li>Tap <strong>Password</strong>, and set a new password with atleast 8 characters. Set the security to <strong>WPA2 PSK</strong>.</li><li>Save your password, then turn the hotspot switch from <strong>ON</strong> to <strong>OFF</strong>, then turn it <strong>ON </strong>again.</li><li><strong>DONE:</strong> You have created a mobile hotspot on your Android Smartphone. Go ahead and connect devices such as computers to it.</li></ol>



<p>In conclusion, you can create a mobile hotspot on your android smartphone without any rocket science. However, mind about its security by setting up a strong password and limiting how many users can connect as you would on an actual WiFi router.</p>

<p>Ever since its reception a few weeks back, Bing AI Chat has become an AI tool every user would want to use alongside ChatGPT. The good news is that you can now use Microsoft<a href="https://techpointmag.com/use-the-new-bing-chat-based-search-powered-by-chatgpt/" data-type="post" data-id="15824"> Bing AI chat</a> in Google Chrome or any other browser other than Microsoft Edge.</p>



<p>By default, Microsoft Bing AI Chat works best with <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-enable-split-screen-in-microsoft-edge/" data-type="post" data-id="15637">Microsoft Edge</a>, but if you are by any means not a fan of the browser, then Google Chrome must be your best choice. Before Google Bard AI steps in to disrupt Bing AI Chat, you can safely use the Ai service in your browser.</p>



<p>Since Bing AI Chat is a Microsoft proprietary service, you need to meet the following requirements before using it on Google Chrome.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list" type="1"><li>An Active Microsoft Account. You can easily open up one by loading <code>outlook.com</code> or <code>Hotmail.com</code>.</li><li>Access to the new Bing AI Chat. You can get access by <a href="https://techpointmag.com/join-bing-ai-chat-wait-list-and-get-faster-access/" data-type="post" data-id="15894">joining the waitlist and making your entry count for faster access.</a></li></ol>

To do this, go to the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bing-chat-for-all-browser/jofbglonpbndadajbafmmaklbfbkggpo?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chrome web store</a>, search for the <code>Bing Chat for All Browsers</code> extension, click <strong>Add to Chrome </strong>to install it in your browser, and follow the steps below to use it.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list" type="1"><li>Open a new browser tab (Control + T) on your keyboard.</li><li>Click the extension&#8217;s icon in the top right corner of your browser, and click the <strong>Bing</strong> extension from the list.</li><li>Click <strong>Open Bing Chat</strong> to start the extension.</li></ul>

<p>Over the years, Microsoft has grown to appreciate Opensource with Linux as its key focus, now, and you can easily install PowerShell on Linux without any license. At first, as it is with most Microsoft products, PowerShell was closed source, but later made opensource making available on <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-delete-files-on-linux-using-the-rm-command/" data-type="post" data-id="16238">Linux</a> and <a href="https://techpointmag.com/rename-bluetooth-devices-on-your-macbook-pro/" data-type="post" data-id="13795">macOS </a>operating systems.</p>



<p>The major difference you experience when you install PowerShell on Linux is the ability to run <a href="https://techpointmag.com/create-a-wifi-hotspot-on-windows-10-using-cmd/" data-type="post" data-id="14864">Windows</a>-cmd-like commands on your system. This is due to the fact that Linux runs Bash as its default shell, when you install PowerShell, you can make it the default, or simply use it to run your commands as you would on Windows.</p>



<p>The shell offers full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) which makes it easy to carry out administrative tasks on Windows system in the same LAN environment. Likewise, the Common Information Model (CIM) enables remote management of the Linux systems where you have PowerShell installed.</p>
