how to grant select only rows to user mysql using command line?

Question

How am I able to grant a mysql user to only select rows in command line ie GRANT SELECT X TO USER BOB ?

Have checked on https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/grant.html , http://www.stackoverflow.com and others.

I have researched and there seems to be no conclusive answer.

I know it's a one-liner but after all I have tried, no dice.

You should use the for all the table or

  GRANT SELECT ON your_db_name.* TO ''bob'@'%';

for a single table

  GRANT SELECT ON your_db_name.yor_table_name TO ''bob'@'%';
