Grant issues with mysql

Question

I have banging my head here for hours.

I am adding a user, password to a DB, whilst trying to grant Privileges.

GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES,DROP,INDEX,ALTER ON myDB.* TO MyUser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'Mypass';

This creates the user, adds the password but will not grant for some reason

I can then run

select * from mysql.user \G;

And it returns the following output, as you can see no grants

*************************** 6. row ***************************
                  Host: localhost
                  User: MyUser
              Password: *MyPass
           Select_priv: N
           Insert_priv: N

       max_connections: 0
  max_user_connections: 0
                plugin:

Any help with this would be great

PS

If I run

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'MyUser'@'localhost';

All privileges are added

You are looking at global permissions, but only grant permissions for myDB.*.

Database-wide permissions are stored in the table mysql.db, take a look at that one.

See the manual for specific information which information is stored where: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/grant-tables.html
