+
+\wxheading{Parameters}

best for the calling routine to check for the existence of the table and for

+explanation as to why a table cannot be opened.
+
+Checking the user's privileges on a table can be quite time consuming during
+the open phase. With most applications, the programmer already knows that the
+user has sufficient privileges to access the table, so this check is normally
+not required.
+
+For best performance, open the table, and then use the
+\helpref{wxDb::TablePrivileges}{wxdbtableprivileges} function
+to check the users privileges. Passing a schema to the TablePrivileges()
