Обсуждение: Information schema permissions
Assume a standard install on Linux (what ever that means). Would a normal user have access to information schema? I have a front end written in python that accesses tables and permissions are set based on roles. But I do nothing with respect to the information schema view. I would like my program to access the view. Would there be anything preventing a standard user from 'SELECT' access? -- John Fabiani

The information schema views are accessible to anyone, but be aware that
they show different sets of rows to different people --- you can only
see rows that are about tables that you have some access permissions
for. This might or might not confuse your app ...
