MySQL: Access denied for user to database

Question

I'm trying to create a database on my remote sql server - clearDB - on Heroku. I connected with this:

mysql --host='<<cleardbhostname>>' --user='<<lsdj234>> --password

My username and password are obtained from the result from running heroku config. When I tried to run

CREATE DATABASE mydb;

I got this:

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user '<<lsdj234>>'@'%' to database 'mydb'

When I ran SHOW GRANTS for current_user I got:

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO '<<lsdj234>>'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*asfe4545235' WITH     MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 3600 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 10 |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `heroku_ljl4455lkj`.* TO '<<lsdj234>>'@'%' 

What is happening? How do I resolve this?

Answer 1

The only database that your user can access (and even create) is heroku_ljl4455lkj
It can't create any other databases.
