 CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
 
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
 # better:
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON microsites3_test.* TO 'tester'@'localhost';
 
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

 CREATE USER 'bjjc_prod_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '<some-pass>';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bjjc_wordpress.* TO 'bjjc_prod_user'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
