Cannot grant privileges

[Eiolon]

I am logged into the MySQL command line as root.

 

I created a new user:

 

CREATE USER 'programs'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

 

Then I try and grant privileges:

 

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
ON programs.*
TO 'programs'@'localhost'

 

I get this as the response:

 

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

 

When I check the user, it still has N for each of the permissions.

 

I tried flushing privileges.  Using MySQL 5.5.

How many tables are in your programs database?  Do you get the same result specifying a specific table in the GRANT?
