how to fix Error 'SELECT command denied to user ''@'localhost' for table `mysql`.`user`' in dbeaver

The error message SELECT command denied to user ''@'localhost' for table 'mysql.user' in DBeaver usually indicates that the user does not have sufficient privileges to access the mysql.user table.

Here are the steps to resolve the issue:

1. Connect to the MySQL server with an administrative account.
2. Run the following command to grant the required privileges:

 

GRANT SELECT ON mysql.* TO 'your_user'@'localhost';

 

Replace "your_user" with the username you are using to connect to the MySQL server.

1. Flush the privileges to make the changes take effect:

 

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

 

1. Try connecting to the MySQL server using DBeaver again and see if the error still occurs.

This should resolve the issue and allow you to access the mysql.user table in DBeaver.
