    The name of the account to which the privilege is granted, in'user_name'@'host_name' format.

  • TABLE_CATALOG

    The name of the catalog. This value is alwaysdef.

  • PRIVILEGE_TYPE

    The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the global level; seeSection 15.7.1.6, “GRANT Statement”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per global privilege held by the grantee.

  • IS_GRANTABLE

    YES if the user has theGRANT OPTION privilege,NO otherwise. The output does not listGRANT OPTION as a separate row withPRIVILEGE_TYPE='GRANT OPTION'.
