CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES Privilege

GRANT

The following examples demonstrate grant of a single privilege. A single GRANT statement can grant multiple privileges at the same scope by providing a comma-separated list of the privileges.

To grant the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES privilege at global scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') in the following query to align to your requirements:

GRANT CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES
  ON *.*
  TO 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

REVOKE

The following examples demonstrate revoke of a single previously-granted privilege. A single REVOKE statement can revoke multiple privileges at the same scope by providing a comma-separated list of the privileges.

To revoke the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES privilege at global scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') in the following query to align to your requirements:

REVOKE CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES
  ON *.*
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

SHOW Output

A user's privileges can be displayed using the SHOW GRANTS statement.

If the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES privilege is present, it will be shown as CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES in the output. For example:

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%';

+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for app_user@192.0.2.%                                  |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON *.* TO 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%' |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

Privilege Failure

An error message is raised if an operation fails due to insufficient privileges. For example:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE hq_sales.invoices (
  invoice_id BIGINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
  branch_id INT NOT NULL,
  customer_id INT,
  invoice_date DATETIME(6),
  invoice_total DECIMAL(13, 2),
  payment_method ENUM('NONE', 'CASH', 'WIRE_TRANSFER', 'CREDIT_CARD', 'GIFT_CARD'),
  PRIMARY KEY(invoice_id)
);

ERROR 1045 (HY000): [11281] Permission denied: User 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME' is missing CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES on `hq_sales`.`invoices`; transaction aborted
