How to add super privileges to MySQL database?
Firstly, check the MySQL database with DESC command.
mysql>DESC mysql.db;
The following is the output.
+-----------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Host | char(60) | NO | PRI | | |
| Db | char(64) | NO | PRI | | |
| User | char(32) | NO | PRI | | |
| Select_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | |
| Insert_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | |
| Update_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | |
| Delete_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | |
| Create_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | |
| Drop_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | |

| Trigger_priv | enum('N','Y') | NO | | N | |
+-----------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
22 rows in set (0.06 sec)
Now let us see the query to give privileges.
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Super_Priv='Y' WHERE user='Manish' AND host='%'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0
Let us now display the table using DESC command.
mysql> desc mysql.user;

The privileges added can be easily seen in the above table. To add super privileges to MySQL database, the following is the syntax.
mysql> GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO user@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwordName';
After executing the above query, do not forget to end it with the following command.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
