I was wrong, I decided to tes this, since I fig'd after thinking about it a bit more that you should've gotten a mysql error saying 'no authorization' if you didn't have those priviledges,
so I tested and got this...
Database dummy - table test
Error
SQL-query:
CREATE TABLE test (id TINYINT not null , row TINYINT not null )
MySQL said: Access denied for user: 'test@localhost' to database 'dummy'
Sounds like something else going on.
More info would be good.
How did you try to create the table etc...
