In looking at the db rights required by the db user in the install.txt that comes with the core drupal download:

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER

From the requirements page at http://drupal.org/requirements

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

I'm assuming that the requirements page is more up to date, and left a comment to that effect at http://drupal.org/requirements#comment-909197

In the interest of consistency, it would be good to have both sources of info saying the same thing. If i could get confirmation regarding what version is more accurate, I'll do the necessary housekeeping here.

The documentation supplied with Drupal tends to be more accurate, if less extensive. In this case the INSTALL.txt is indeed correct - see http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=88555.

D5 and earlier still require the additional permissions.
