Table permissions - before the table is created?
Can the mysql administrator grant permissions on a table in an existing database if that table doesn't exist yet? This is part of planning for an upgrade to an existing application. The mysql administrator won't be there when I add the table to the existing database and I don't have grant privileges.

You can't do this using a grant statement because it is bound by existing tables. You may be able to manipulate the mysql db tables directly - I was able to insert a row in mysql.tables_priv for a nonexistent table - but I don't know how this will play out once the table actually is created. Perhaps give it a try on a test db...? David -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for that. Will create the two tables ahead of time which won't affect the existing application.

If you are manually editing the grant tables, don't forget to FLUSH PRIVILEDGES after you add the new tables.
