Re: Import mysql.user from 5.0 to 5.7

[Quoted] I have to upgrade a server with 380 users of which I do not know permissions and passwords.
I must import all the information contained in the mysql database (version 5.0) in mysql database (version 5.7)

Thank you

Just the users?

What about their passwords?

And all the databases and permissions associated with those users?

Most of what you want I suspect in in the mysql.user table, so dumping that and importing it into the new database would probably net you what you want.

be careful not to overwrite the new root user with the old one if you don't know the root password on the old system :-)
