Hi Melvin,

Thanks for the explanation, it makes things easy to understand.

One question :

> Although GRANT ALL, at first appears to simplify granting permissions, it is actually a very bad practice that is often misused. That is because doing so would also allow groups and ordinary users the following additional privileges: TRUNCATE, REFERENCES & TRIGGER.

If a user has DELETE rights on a table, I don't see how granting him TRUNCATE makes that much of a difference? Same could be said of the other two, it's not like they are going to cause more damage than the previous rights.
