Compare Schema - ERROR: Select command denied to user 'xxxx'@'yyyyy' for table 'db' Quest.Compare.Schema.MySQL.DBModel

I am so thrilled to have found Toad and this forum!!!

First, a disclaimer: I am a novice at DB administration and everything I know is self taught through forums just like this one. That learning is out of necessity, but thank God I enjoy a challenge! My question may be “basic” and I apologize to the experts that may find my inquiry frustratingly simple. I have searched the forum and couldn’t find the answer and thus, finally asking for help.

My Experience Level with Toad: maybe 6 hours of use
My DB Admin Skill Level: Novice
Version of Toad: 7.2.0.2922
Toad Feature I am have issues with: Compare Schema
**Error being encountered: **Select command denied to user ‘xxxx’@‘yyyyy’ for table ‘db’ Quest.Compare.Schema.MySQL.DBModel
Prior to posting I made sure (using Toad)…

  1. I have successfully connected to each of the DBs for which I am trying to compare the schemas for.
  2. I have been able to successfully run queries against each of the targeted DBs.
  3. I have verified the stored user name and password for each connection.
  4. I have verified that the UID has select authority for each of the DBs. Actually, the UID has all permissions.
  5. I have verified that remote connection is authorized for the UID on each DB.
  6. I have reviewed the list of tables within each of the target DBs… neither has a table named ‘db’.
    I also reviewed the “How to create multi-schema comparison” posted within the forum but that didn’t help. As soon as I execute the compare, Toad returns the stated error. I suspect this is something truly simple and elementary but I, as I mentioned, I am a novice and would truly appreciate any guidance from anyone willing to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dave,

you talk about TOAD : 7.2.0.2922.

This forum is for Toad for SQL Server and now the last version is 6.1 not 7.2 .

Probably you have post question in a wrong forum.

You must post your question in www.toadworld.com/…/default.aspx - forums about Toad for MySQL server.

Best regards,

Sergio

Thanks Sergio. My apologies! I’ll post in the MySQl forum.

Hi Dave,

nothing.

No problem for the post in SQL Server forums.

Have a good day.

Sergio
