Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

MySQL Grant Pain

[ #36175 ]

mysql> grant all on no_such_database.* to 'no_such_user'@'%' identified by 'some_password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

No warning. No problem. This is real fun to debug.

Also, when you drop a database, grants aren't dropped. We found this out when it turned out we had over 1.5 million grants left in the database. This had an impact on performance.

  • ... that apparently MySQL is a bit like Perl, the first thing you need to do is "use strict"...

    Have you enabled strict mode?

    Note: I have no freaking idea how to turn it on myself, but I think it's being positioned as a "gotcha" ala use strict.
