Description

Break out the ALL privilege which currently allows all DDL operations into a CREATE, DROP, and ALTER set of privileges as some users should be able to CREATE tables in a database, others might have the power to DROP tables, and others might need just the ability to ALTER. This flows much like other RDBMS privileges.
