MySQL Permissions

avatar

At my organization, each user is provided with a MySQL schema/database named the same as their userid. Users have full control of this and can create anything they like *within* this, but do not have permissions outside of this. When I try to create a new MySQL Data Source, it fails indicating that I do not have permissions within MySQL. Why can't I just create the required tables within my <userid> schema/database (although I do see about 15 tables that were created)? What else is the installation trying to configure? Is there a .sql file that I can look at to see what it is trying to do so that I can make a case to a DBA to grant me (temporary) permission?

I will send you the full MySQL script via private message. You can have a look at it. Step 1.2 has an operation on the schema (changing the character set). It think if you remove that one line the script should succeed.
