MySQL query via SSH giving ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1

Question

ssh root@ip "mysql -uroot -p -e 'grant all on wordpress.* to firaswp@'ip' identified by 'password123';'"

however, when I input grant all on wordpress.* to firaswp@'54.87.224.199' identified by 'password123'; in mysql daemon it works fine..

does anyone know why this wouldn't be working? the syntax should be fine - if i remove "identified by 'password123', it works. Thanks!

I am using this, and it works for me:

ssh root@ip "mysql --user=user --password=pass database -e 'query'"

Your script also look working but don't use ; in command.
