11717	Access to automatic database repair/optimize with admin rights	neoxx	ryan	"Hi,

I read somewhere that the reason for using a constant as enabler for the automatic repairing/optimizing database functionality was, that some people are not able to access their back-end in case certain tables are broken.

Anyway, as db optimization (and not only repairing) is also included in ''/wp-admin/maint/repair.php'', it would be helpful, if we could avoid setting the constant and in addition grant users with the admin role the right to access the functionality.

I've added the necessary two lines and attached a patch to this ticket. - Hopefully this will make it into core, because it would really ease access and increase usability.

My Best,
Berny"	enhancement	new	normal	Future Release	Database	2.9.1	normal		has-patch 2nd-opinion
