Hi,

I've recently installed Biomart in order to make some of my lab's data
publicly available in the future.

I'm using a *martDBLocation.xml*-style registry file. I've created a MySQL
user with USAGE privileges on the database I'm using to store the data, but
when I try to run the configure.pl script, the following error shows up:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COULD NOT CONNECT TO DATABASE xxxxxx.CHECK YOUR SETTINGS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of permissions should I grant to the user that appears in the
registry file? I do not feel comfortable giving this user privileges to
modify the database content. Below you can find a copy-paste of the registry
file:

<MartDBLocation
    ...
    user         = "rgmartuser"
    password     = "xxxxxxxxxx"
    visible      = "1"
    default      = ""
    includeDatasets = ""
    martUser     = ""
/>

Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Please let me know if this is not the
proper mail to send this kind of inquiries.

Best regards,
Amadís
