Create view without SUPER privileges in phpMyAdmin

mysql, phpmyadmin

Solution

From the documentation:

If you specify the DEFINER clause, you cannot set the value to any user but your own unless you have the SUPER privilege. These rules determine the legal DEFINER user values:

- *If you do not have the SUPER privilege, the only legal user value is your own account, either specified literally or by using CURRENT_USER. You cannot set the definer to some other account.*

- If you have the SUPER privilege, you can specify any syntactically legal account name. If the account does not actually exist, a warning is generated.

Check your MySQL account, it is not `byname`@`localhost`.

Solutions:

- Create new view with DEFINER clause using account that granted with SUPER privilege.

- Do not use DEFINER clause in CREATE VIEW, in this case MySQL will create view DEFINER = CURRENT_USER.

Problem

I am trying to via SQL tab within the phpmyadmin to create/import a view like this: ``` CREATE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED DEFINER=`byname`@`localhost` SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW `wr_averages` AS select `nf_users`.`id` AS `id`,(`nf_users`.`points` / `nf_users`.`played`) AS `average_points` from `nf_users` where (`nf_users`.`played` > 24); ``` I get this error: ``` #1227 - Access denied; you need the SUPER privilege for this operation ``` I can not get SUPER privileges at my hosting company, so is there anyway to get around this? Thanks in advance :-)
