you will have a dbadmin who has right to do anything. Either add users or add/revoke permissions to any db user. you can see here the privileges, so you can add create privilege, but do not add drop privilege.

Hellooooo

I know how to creata a user, and i know that to search in google.

I created a user, and logged into that user, but he can't able to create a database, so that i granted privileges to *.* to user@localhost, with this he can able to create the database but also he can delete that database.
so that here i want to creata a user who can creata a database and he should not delete that database.

so the next google you should have done would have got you here in seconds - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...html#priv_drop and you can see there is no specific "Drop database" privilege, you just permit create or drop on everything. so you can grant create and not drop, but that means they also couldn't drop tables, views etc.

more googling gets you here - http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=18938 where people are asking for a distinction between the types of drop.

Thanks for ur replay

If i do not add drop privilege to user then the user can able to drop their tables in database.
i want user to drop tables.

The CREATE privilege enables creation of new databases and tables.
The DROP privilege enables you to drop (remove) existing databases, tables, and views.

Did you actually READ any of the pages on permissions, there is no such permission to allow this. Let me make it clear: YOU CAN NOT GIVE A USER PERMISSIONS TO DROP JUST TABLES.
