-> icq Char(10),
-> address VarChar(30)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
新增几笔资料，并查询看看：
mysql> insert into friends values(
-> "maa", "29016710", "46243046", "台北县新庄市"
-> );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into friends (name, icq, telphone, address ) Values (
-> "cxlin", "39425893", "7654321", "台北县"
-> );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> select * from friends;
+-------+----------+----------+--------------+
| name | telphone | icq | address |
+-------+----------+----------+--------------+
| maa | 29016710 | 46243046 | 台北县新庄市 |
| cxlin | 7654321 | 39425893 | 台北县 |
+-------+----------+----------+--------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
第二个 insert 指令指定了资料栏位的插入顺序，用法较第一个为弹性，而第一个指令必须依资料表建立结构时的顺序插入资料。
更新、删除资料表记录：
mysql> update friends set address = "桃园县" where name = "cxlin";
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
mysql> select * from friends where name = "cxlin";
+-------+----------+----------+---------+
| name | telphone | icq | address |
+-------+----------+----------+---------+
| cxlin | 7654321 | 39425893 | 桃园县 |
+-------+----------+----------+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> delete from friends where name = "maa";
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> select * from friends;
+-------+----------+----------+---------+
| name | telphone | icq | address |
+-------+----------+----------+---------+
| cxlin | 7654321 | 39425893 | 桃园县 |
+-------+----------+----------+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
最后，建好资料库与资料表后，把 addbook 资料库中所有资料表的使用权限（select、insert、update、delete）授权给 maa@localhost（再次提醒，此处的 maa 为 MySQL 的使用者帐号，而非作业系统的 maa 帐号）：
mysql> grant select, insert, update, delete
-> on addbook.*
-> to maa@localhost identified by '1234567';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
之后，可用 maa 的身份进入 MySQL 存取 addbook 资料库：
# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u maa -p addbook
Enter password:

收回资料库使用权限的方法如下（以 MySQL root 进入）：
mysql> revoke delete on addbook.* from maa@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> revoke all privileges on addbook.* from maa@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
第二个指令用来收回全部的权限。
