Database user permissions

[claudermilk]

I have a question regarding the database user. Once the blog is all set up, what permissions in mySQL are required for the blog to work? So far, I've left it at the shotgun approach of everything short of Grant. I'd like to remove any unnecessary permissions possible.

Can you tell I'm hyper sensitive to security right now? Got an old, mis-configured hobby server hacked recently & want to make sure the new one is as secure as possible.

i would say select, update, insert and delete should be enough. if you want to install a plugin, than it may need the right to add a table.
