You could also try the following approach: - on the table, have an INSERT trigger add the username to a column named CREATE_WHO (this can be extended to UPDATE operations too, but this probably isn't necessary in your example) - create a view based on "select * from table where CREATE_WHO = SUBSTRING_INDEX(USER(),'@',1);". - DML statements are now applied against the view, and not against the underlying table. This depends on the user who is logged in to the DB though.
