Then every time when I want to create a >new database, I need to ask the root to give create privilege ??? Well, yes, you need to have privileges on a database to be able to create it. However, if you have the global CREATE privilege, you can create *any* database. So maybe that's what you want. The GRANT statement for this will look like: GRANT CREATE ON *.* TO ddb@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd'; *.* as a level specifier means "global". Is that what you want? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <mysql-unsubscribe-##L=##[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
