Transfering tables from one database to another.

This is kind of a toughy I think, at least to me.

I have two databases on my web server. Each one has two different user accounts, and I can't seem to be able to have one user account have access to both databases (the HELM control panel my web host uses doesn't let me).

My problem is that I have several tables on one database that I would like to have moved to the other database, keeping all the data in-tact.

I use phpmyadmin to manage the databases. I need to know what SQL I can use to accomplish this task please. I assumed some type of "CREATE TABLE blah SELECT * FROM otherdatabase.blah" statement would work but since the account don't have access to the other database this won't work. I know that with Oracle I can specify the username and password to the select statement of another database and that would work, but I haven't found any similar command for mySQL.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
