Description Frank Hommes 2010-10-14 18:36:53 UTC 
Version:           1.5.0 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Since I installed Digikam new on my new system I can't create new tags anymore.
They are not shown anyway and I get the following error in the console:
"digikam(10172)/digikam (core) Digikam::TagEditDlg::createTAlbum: "some person"  ::  "some person"
digikam(10172)/digikam (core) Digikam::DatabaseCoreBackendPrivate::debugOutputFailedQuery: Failure executing query:
 "UPDATE Tags SET rgt = rgt + 2 WHERE rgt > @myLeft;" 
Error messages: "Access denied; you need the SUPER privilege for this operation QMYSQL3: Unable to execute statement" 1227 2 "Access denied; you need the SUPER privilege for this operation" "QMYSQL3: Unable to execute statement" QSqlError(-1, "", "") 
Bound values:  ()
QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'digikamDatabase-24358144' is still in use, all queries will cease to work."

I'm using digikam 1.5 self compiled on kde with a mysql-server on the remote server. The user digikam has all rights granted for the database digikam.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a tag

Actual Results:  
Digikam shows the new tag in the list. The tag at the picture is any of my tags.

Expected Results:  
There should be a new tag...

Something goes wrong with your dbms configuration.
As the log output states you doesn't have enough privileges in the digikam schema:

>"UPDATE Tags SET rgt = rgt + 2 WHERE rgt > @myLeft;" 
>Error messages: "Access denied; you need the SUPER privilege for this operation
>QMYSQL3: Unable to execute statement" 1227 2 "Access denied; you need the SUPER

Can you please check your dbms (mysql server) configuration?

I had made some changes within the gsoc branch, which tries to detect permission problems by creating and manipulating a table.

The question for me is, why it is needed to have SUPER privileges for this action. Besides of that, we have no other way to handle the tag hierachy - we need to use this kind of statements there.

With SUPER privileges it's working. But like you I'm wondering why this is needed :)
Now I don't know wheather to close this bug or to leave it open since I guess you should not need SUPER privileges for the things digikam uses mysql.
