Sorry, can you elaborate on this? I get the sense you're talking about a SQL
call like:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE semantic_drilldown_values (...set of columns...)
...some "CREATE INDEX" or "ALTER TABLE" call...
INSERT INTO semantic_drilldown_values (...SQL call...)

If that's right, how would this require fewer permissions than the current
code?
