Hi! Could you give an example of how you tried to create a table? You need to make sure that the table is in the test database as the test user only has permissions there. For example, this would create a table named table in the `test: database:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test.table (
    id int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    name varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

The result is:

mysql> show columns in test.table;
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id    | int(5)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| name  | varchar(50) | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
