Ques 76. What Happens If You No CREATE Privilege in a Database?
In order to create tables in a database, your user account must have the CREATE privilege for that database. Otherwise you will get an error as shown in the following tutorial exercise:
>cd mysqlbin
>mysql -u guest -ppub
mysql> use ggl;
Database changed
mysql> CREATE TABLE test (id integer);
ERROR 1142 (42000): CREATE command denied to user
'guest'@'localhost' for table 'test'
If you get this error, you need to see the DBA to obtain the CREATE privilege.
