My ISP's policy is not to give the GRANT privilage on their SQL dbases. I pointed them to the requirements page and their responce was that thay have several Druapl installs running without any problems. So my questions are...

1. Are GRANT and SELECT GRANT privilages the same thing?

2. Why is SELECT GRANT a Drupal requirement? (http://drupal.org/requirements)

2.1 When is SELECT GRANT used by Druapl.

Many thanks,

Ben

I've edited that part of the page to remove any potential source of confusion.

Your database user needs the following privileges:

SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES
