How to get a list of MySQL User Accounts
I'm using the MySQL command line utility and can navigate through a database. Now I need to see a list of user accounts. How can I do this?
I'm using MySQL version
5.4.1.Answer :
Use this query:
SELECT User FROM mysql.user;
Which will output a table like this:
+-------+
| User |
+-------+
| root |
+-------+
| user2 |
+-------+
As Matthew Scharley points out in the comments on this answer, you can group by the
User column if you'd only like to see unique usernames.
