Thanks Gurham, I'd considered your second idea - but I prefer your first idea. So I decided to give the user a table prefix of tbl_R - however, the following throws an error:
mysql> GRANT CREATE ON Personnel.tbl_R* TO MyUser IDENTIFIED BY 'a_password'; Error 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '* ..... blah .... Checking the manual, I'm not sure I can do this ??
