                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Permission denied for '" + ip + "' !");
            }


        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Failed");
        }

this is the error i get

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Access denied for user 'howday'@'192.168.1.69' to database 'hms'

please help!!!

If you compare the syntax of the GRANT and REVOKE statements, GRANT requires user_specification and REVOKE only requires a user. The difference is that user_sepcification requires user plus the IDENTIFIED BY, while user is just that, a user. Try changing the REVOKE query to:

String query ="REVOKE INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE on hms.* FROM '"+MainFrame.dbUser+"'@'"+ip+"';";

i want to give access to my clients using java.when i tried the code it is showing "com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Access denied for user 'root'@'183.83.51.134' to database 'printer_system_master'
